Madhya Pradesh High Court Ruling The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that sexual acts between a husband and wife cannot be prosecuted under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code if they occur within a valid marital relationship. Justice Milind Ramesh Phadke observed that such allegations fall within the legal framework of marriage and are affected by the marital rape exception under Section 375 IPC. The Court clarified that due to this legal exception, such acts cannot be treated as an “unnatural offence” under Section 377 IPC. The ruling came while the Court partly allowed a plea filed by a husband seeking to quash criminal charges filed by his wife. Case Background The wife had accused her husband and his family of dowry harassment, physical abuse, and forced sexual acts. Police registered multiple charges, including Section 377 IPC, Section 498A, Section 354, and provisions under the Dowry Prohibition Act. The High Court quashed the Section 377 charge against the husband and also removed criminal proceedings against the sister-in-law due to lack of specific allegations. However, the Court allowed other charges, including dowry harassment and criminal intimidation, to continue against the husband, father-in-law, and mother-in-law. The Court stated that disputed facts and allegations will be examined during trial. The ruling has sparked legal debate around the marital rape exception and the interpretation of Section 377 in India. #mphighcourt #section377 #indianlaw #breakingnews #legalnews
