The Delhi High Court divisional bench on Wednesday delivered a split verdict on the ongoing martial rape case which talks of the validity of Exception 2 in Section 375 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Kerala High Court has explained the difference between consensual sex and rape during the hearing of a case. The court has commented that if a woman welcomes the prospect of sex from her partner, only then can it be considered sex by mutual consent. Otherwise it would be classified as rape.
