Voice of Time Desk: If a husband has sexual intercourse without the consent of his wife, it is considered as ‘marital rape’, which means ‘marital rape’.
Sunday (November 1) Lawyer Lawyer of the Supreme Court. Zahid Chowdhury Johnny sent this notice. This notice has been sent to ensure the transparency of the law in the country.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, the Secretary of the Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs, the Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior, the Chairman of the Bangladesh Law Commission, the Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission Bangladesh, the Director General of the Department of Women and Children’s Affairs and the Director General of the Department of Social Services have been named as defendants.
According to the notice, women cannot take any legal action if they are raped by their husbands in married life, in accordance with the Prevention of Abuse of Women and Children Act and the Penal Code of Bangladesh. Also, from a social point of view, that woman can never raise this issue. However, the study found that spousal rape has occurred in 28 of the 64 districts this year.
In 1993, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights described marital rape as a violation of human rights. So far, some 150 countries have legalized marital rape as a crime. But even in the 21st century, there is no legal or punitive provision for marital rape in Bangladesh.
The notice also said that according to the law in force in the country, there is a provision of punishment for raping a person who is not married. However, it is time to amend the law to ensure the protection of women who are being raped through domestic violence.
Therefore, it has been requested that the necessary measures be taken in this regard within 7 days of receipt of the notification. Otherwise, a court petition will be filed in Superior Court for redress, according to the notice.
