Abstract

Both pillars of humanity i.e. men and women have equal importance and role in creation and development of the humanity but the women are bound to face several humiliations in the society. Despite various safeguards and protections available at the global as well as at national level, before birth till last breath, women are discriminated. The offences against women are endless as sexual harassment, dowry-death, domestic violence, female genital mutilation and so on. Among other problems 'marital rape' is very crucial as it is not recognized, till date, in our Indian legal system as a crime, which needs immediate attention of the Legislature.

Keywords: Women, Offences, Rape
