Sexual acts with wife, including oral or anal, not a rape, consent not needed: Madhya Pradesh HC

The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that unnatural sex with a wife isn't rape under the IPC, regardless of consent. Justice G S Ahluwalia's order quashed an FIR against a husband, citing legal precedents. The case involved a couple married since 2019, with the wife living separately since 2020. The ruling clarified exceptions under IPC sections 375 and 376(B), stating marital rape isn't recognized.
