Supreme Court to hear marital rape pleas after Centre's response
The Supreme Court has stated it will fix a date for hearing petitions concerning marital rape once the Centre provides its response on the issue. A three-judge bench, led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, indicated this when senior advocate Indira Jaising urged the court to list the petitions for hearing in November. The court's decision to set a hearing date is contingent on the government's stance.
