Marital rape - friend of mine
1 year ago
So there is a friend of mine who is married for around 2 to 5 years now
But she doesn't have good relations with her husband
Her husband abuses her beat her and forces himself on her every night. So she tells me abot it all the time she says no one in her family from both sides believe her rather they pressurise her to go back to same house to her husband due to the fear of society . Sometimes it's too much to bear for her she even told me many times that she is considering suicide as a last option because her husband literally rapes her
and threaten to defame her in family and in society if she resists or go to police . He said he will allege extra marital affairs charges on her with me I'm more like a younger brother to her and also a relative but her husbands said he would get her call details and recordings and prove that she is having an affair with me So now for my sake she is frightened to go for any legal help and is continuously told by him that she is just her sex toy
So tell me sir how can i help her
All Indian laws are in favour of married woman. As such, if she is not interested in continuing the marriage, then she can initiate several multiple actions against her abusive husband. But, your friend may not get any benefits out of such litigation, but may get only frustration since Indian Courts takes years together to dispose the matrimonial cases.
