On Abortion And Marital Rape, Supreme Court's Massive Order | Read

The ground-breaking judgment also saw the court recognise marital rape, though purely within the ambit of abortion. The court ruled that under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, the definition of rape must include marital rape.
