Abstract

Sexual violence in India stays far reaching, with ladies confronting unbalanced hurt regardless of lawful changes. Marital rape, however worldwide perceived as wrongdoing, remains lawfully excluded in India, building up male centric standards that subvert assent. This audit looks at the predominance of rape, cultural inclinations, legal difficulties, and media portrayal. Dalit ladies face intensified weaknesses because of rank and orientation abuse. Survivors persevere through extreme mental injury, yet social disgrace and institutional hindrances impede equity. While advanced activism brings issues to light, foundational changes are fundamental. Criminalizing marital rape, reinforcing survivor support, and advancing assent based lawful systems are essential for accomplishing orientation equity in India.
