1:02:45Now PlayingThe government has defended in the Supreme Court a provision in the Indian Penal Code (IPC) that does not penalise a man for forcibly having sex with his wife aged between 15 and 17, saying the exception in rape law was meant to protect the institution of marriage. An exception clause in Section 375 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which defines the offence of rape, states the intercourse or sexual act by a man with his wife, not below 15 years, is not rape. To discuss this, MIRROR NOW caught up with Sanju Verma: National Spokesperson: BJP; Brinda Adige: Woman's rights activist; Aishwarya Bhati: Supreme Court Advocate; Shamit Khemka: Senior Lawyer; Vikram Srivastava: Petitioner: Founder of Independent Thoughts NGO; C Pal Singh: Former IG of Punjab Police. Take a look.
