Bombay HC: Sex with wife below 18 is rape, regardless of consent; 10 years RI for accused
Bombay High Court's Nagpur bench confirmed that sexual intercourse, even if consensual, with a wife under 18 is considered rape, upholding a 10-year imprisonment sentence. The court emphasized that marital rape exceptions do not apply to minors, reiterating that consent from underage girls is legally invalid.
