&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Marital
rape could soon be an offence, if a Centre-appointed panel has its way.
The Pam Rajput committee, that recently submitted its report to the 
women and child development (WCD) ministry, has recommended that as a 
pro-woman measure, marital rape should be consider an offence 
irrespective of the age of the wife and the relationship between the 
perpetrator and survivor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recommendations will be discussed in an inter-ministerial consultation on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier,
WCD minister Maneka Gandhi voiced her support on the view that marital 
rape was a form of violence against women and was &amp;quot;unacceptable&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;My
opinion is that violence against women shouldn&#039;t be limited to violence
by strangers. Very often a marital rape is not always about a man&#039;s 
need for sex; it is about his need for power and subjugation. In such 
case, it should be treated with seriousness,&amp;quot; she had said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This 
is in sharp contradiction to the government&#039;s stand. &amp;quot;It is considered 
that the concept of marital rape, as understood internationally, cannot 
be suitably applied in the Indian context due to various factors, 
including level of education, illiteracy, poverty, myriad social customs
and values, religious beliefs, mindset of the society to treat marriage
as a sacrament,&amp;quot; Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhury, minister of state for 
home, had told Rajya Sabha in April.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contradicting the argument, 
activists and champions of women&#039;s rights, as well voices in the 
opposition ranks, have denounced the government stand as retrograde, 
with many pointing out that the UN Committee on Elimination of 
Discrimination against Women has recommended to India that marital rape 
be criminalized. Justice J S Verma committee also recommended the 
criminalization of marital rape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the UN Population 
Fund, more than two-thirds of married women in India, aged 15 to 49, 
have been beaten, or forced to provide sex. In 2011, the International 
Men and Gender Equality Survey revealed that one in five has forced 
their wives or partner to have sex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of these concerns are 
likely to come up in Monday&#039;s meeting that will include stakeholders 
from the government, civil society and non-government organizations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among
the other issues that the high level committee on women has addressed 
are that age of consent must be revised form the present 18 years to 16 
years. It has also suggested that rape by armed personnel in the place 
of or during their duty must be penalized and AFSPA be revoked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The
report has also recommended that the definitions of &amp;quot;cruelty&amp;quot; under the
anti-dowry act be widened to include all forms of violence against 
women and the definition of dowry be expanded to include any property, 
valuable given directly or indirectly, before or after marriage in 
connection with marriage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Honour crimes should be dealt with a 
separate legislation while police should take strict and immediate 
action to prevent archaic practices like witch-hunting, the report says.
It has also suggested regulating sale of acid and similar corrosive 
substances to prevent acid attacks on women.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Marital
rape could soon be an offence, if a Centre-appointed panel has its way.
The Pam Rajput committee, that recently submitted its report to the 
women and child development (WCD) ministry, has recommended that as a 
pro-woman measure, marital rape should be consider an offence 
irrespective of the age of the wife and the relationship between the 
perpetrator and survivor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recommendations will be discussed in an inter-ministerial consultation on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier,
WCD minister Maneka Gandhi voiced her support on the view that marital 
rape was a form of violence against women and was &amp;quot;unacceptable&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;My
opinion is that violence against women shouldn&#039;t be limited to violence
by strangers. Very often a marital rape is not always about a man&#039;s 
need for sex; it is about his need for power and subjugation. In such 
case, it should be treated with seriousness,&amp;quot; she had said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This 
is in sharp contradiction to the government&#039;s stand. &amp;quot;It is considered 
that the concept of marital rape, as understood internationally, cannot 
be suitably applied in the Indian context due to various factors, 
including level of education, illiteracy, poverty, myriad social customs
and values, religious beliefs, mindset of the society to treat marriage
as a sacrament,&amp;quot; Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhury, minister of state for 
home, had told Rajya Sabha in April.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contradicting the argument, 
activists and champions of women&#039;s rights, as well voices in the 
opposition ranks, have denounced the government stand as retrograde, 
with many pointing out that the UN Committee on Elimination of 
Discrimination against Women has recommended to India that marital rape 
be criminalized. Justice J S Verma committee also recommended the 
criminalization of marital rape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the UN Population 
Fund, more than two-thirds of married women in India, aged 15 to 49, 
have been beaten, or forced to provide sex. In 2011, the International 
Men and Gender Equality Survey revealed that one in five has forced 
their wives or partner to have sex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of these concerns are 
likely to come up in Monday&#039;s meeting that will include stakeholders 
from the government, civil society and non-government organizations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among
the other issues that the high level committee on women has addressed 
are that age of consent must be revised form the present 18 years to 16 
years. It has also suggested that rape by armed personnel in the place 
of or during their duty must be penalized and AFSPA be revoked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The
report has also recommended that the definitions of &amp;quot;cruelty&amp;quot; under the
anti-dowry act be widened to include all forms of violence against 
women and the definition of dowry be expanded to include any property, 
valuable given directly or indirectly, before or after marriage in 
connection with marriage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Honour crimes should be dealt with a 
separate legislation while police should take strict and immediate 
action to prevent archaic practices like witch-hunting, the report says.
It has also suggested regulating sale of acid and similar corrosive 
substances to prevent acid attacks on women.

The recommendations will be discussed in an inter-ministerial consultation on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier,
WCD minister Maneka Gandhi voiced her support on the view that marital 
rape was a form of violence against women and was &amp;quot;unacceptable&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;My
opinion is that violence against women shouldn&#039;t be limited to violence
by strangers. Very often a marital rape is not always about a man&#039;s 
need for sex; it is about his need for power and subjugation. In such 
case, it should be treated with seriousness,&amp;quot; she had said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This 
is in sharp contradiction to the government&#039;s stand. &amp;quot;It is considered 
that the concept of marital rape, as understood internationally, cannot 
be suitably applied in the Indian context due to various factors, 
including level of education, illiteracy, poverty, myriad social customs
and values, religious beliefs, mindset of the society to treat marriage
as a sacrament,&amp;quot; Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhury, minister of state for 
home, had told Rajya Sabha in April.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contradicting the argument, 
activists and champions of women&#039;s rights, as well voices in the 
opposition ranks, have denounced the government stand as retrograde, 
with many pointing out that the UN Committee on Elimination of 
Discrimination against Women has recommended to India that marital rape 
be criminalized. Justice J S Verma committee also recommended the 
criminalization of marital rape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the UN Population 
Fund, more than two-thirds of married women in India, aged 15 to 49, 
have been beaten, or forced to provide sex. In 2011, the International 
Men and Gender Equality Survey revealed that one in five has forced 
their wives or partner to have sex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of these concerns are 
likely to come up in Monday&#039;s meeting that will include stakeholders 
from the government, civil society and non-government organizations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among
the other issues that the high level committee on women has addressed 
are that age of consent must be revised form the present 18 years to 16 
years. It has also suggested that rape by armed personnel in the place 
of or during their duty must be penalized and AFSPA be revoked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The
report has also recommended that the definitions of &amp;quot;cruelty&amp;quot; under the
anti-dowry act be widened to include all forms of violence against 
women and the definition of dowry be expanded to include any property, 
valuable given directly or indirectly, before or after marriage in 
connection with marriage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Honour crimes should be dealt with a 
separate legislation while police should take strict and immediate 
action to prevent archaic practices like witch-hunting, the report says.
It has also suggested regulating sale of acid and similar corrosive 
substances to prevent acid attacks on women.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Marital
rape could soon be an offence, if a Centre-appointed panel has its way.
The Pam Rajput committee, that recently submitted its report to the 
women and child development (WCD) ministry, has recommended that as a 
pro-woman measure, marital rape should be consider an offence 
irrespective of the age of the wife and the relationship between the 
perpetrator and survivor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recommendations will be discussed in an inter-ministerial consultation on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier,
WCD minister Maneka Gandhi voiced her support on the view that marital 
rape was a form of violence against women and was &amp;quot;unacceptable&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;My
opinion is that violence against women shouldn&#039;t be limited to violence
by strangers. Very often a marital rape is not always about a man&#039;s 
need for sex; it is about his need for power and subjugation. In such 
case, it should be treated with seriousness,&amp;quot; she had said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This 
is in sharp contradiction to the government&#039;s stand. &amp;quot;It is considered 
that the concept of marital rape, as understood internationally, cannot 
be suitably applied in the Indian context due to various factors, 
including level of education, illiteracy, poverty, myriad social customs
and values, religious beliefs, mindset of the society to treat marriage
as a sacrament,&amp;quot; Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhury, minister of state for 
home, had told Rajya Sabha in April.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contradicting the argument, 
activists and champions of women&#039;s rights, as well voices in the 
opposition ranks, have denounced the government stand as retrograde, 
with many pointing out that the UN Committee on Elimination of 
Discrimination against Women has recommended to India that marital rape 
be criminalized. Justice J S Verma committee also recommended the 
criminalization of marital rape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the UN Population 
Fund, more than two-thirds of married women in India, aged 15 to 49, 
have been beaten, or forced to provide sex. In 2011, the International 
Men and Gender Equality Survey revealed that one in five has forced 
their wives or partner to have sex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of these concerns are 
likely to come up in Monday&#039;s meeting that will include stakeholders 
from the government, civil society and non-government organizations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among
the other issues that the high level committee on women has addressed 
are that age of consent must be revised form the present 18 years to 16 
years. It has also suggested that rape by armed personnel in the place 
of or during their duty must be penalized and AFSPA be revoked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The
report has also recommended that the definitions of &amp;quot;cruelty&amp;quot; under the
anti-dowry act be widened to include all forms of violence against 
women and the definition of dowry be expanded to include any property, 
valuable given directly or indirectly, before or after marriage in 
connection with marriage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Honour crimes should be dealt with a 
separate legislation while police should take strict and immediate 
action to prevent archaic practices like witch-hunting, the report says.
It has also suggested regulating sale of acid and similar corrosive 
substances to prevent acid attacks on women.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Marital
rape could soon be an offence, if a Centre-appointed panel has its way.
The Pam Rajput committee, that recently submitted its report to the 
women and child development (WCD) ministry, has recommended that as a 
pro-woman measure, marital rape should be consider an offence 
irrespective of the age of the wife and the relationship between the 
perpetrator and survivor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recommendations will be discussed in an inter-ministerial consultation on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier,
WCD minister Maneka Gandhi voiced her support on the view that marital 
rape was a form of violence against women and was &amp;quot;unacceptable&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;My
opinion is that violence against women shouldn&#039;t be limited to violence
by strangers. Very often a marital rape is not always about a man&#039;s 
need for sex; it is about his need for power and subjugation. In such 
case, it should be treated with seriousness,&amp;quot; she had said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This 
is in sharp contradiction to the government&#039;s stand. &amp;quot;It is considered 
that the concept of marital rape, as understood internationally, cannot 
be suitably applied in the Indian context due to various factors, 
including level of education, illiteracy, poverty, myriad social customs
and values, religious beliefs, mindset of the society to treat marriage
as a sacrament,&amp;quot; Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhury, minister of state for 
home, had told Rajya Sabha in April.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contradicting the argument, 
activists and champions of women&#039;s rights, as well voices in the 
opposition ranks, have denounced the government stand as retrograde, 
with many pointing out that the UN Committee on Elimination of 
Discrimination against Women has recommended to India that marital rape

criminalization of marital rape.&lt;br /&gt;

have been beaten, or forced to provide sex. In 2011, the International

<em>NEW DELHI: </em>Marital
rape could soon be an offence, if a Centre-appointed panel has its way.
The Pam Rajput committee, that recently submitted its report to the 
women and child development (WCD) ministry, has recommended that as a 
pro-woman measure, marital rape should be consider an offence 
irrespective of the age of the wife and the relationship between the 
perpetrator and survivor.<br />
<br />
The recommendations will be discussed in an inter-ministerial consultation on Monday.<br />
<br />
Earlier,
WCD minister Maneka Gandhi voiced her support on the view that marital 
rape was a form of violence against women and was &quot;unacceptable&quot;.<br />
<br />
&quot;My
opinion is that violence against women shouldn't be limited to violence
by strangers. Very often a marital rape is not always about a man's 
need for sex; it is about his need for power and subjugation. In such 
case, it should be treated with seriousness,&quot; she had said.<br />
<br />
This 
is in sharp contradiction to the government's stand. &quot;It is considered 
that the concept of marital rape, as understood internationally, cannot 
be suitably applied in the Indian context due to various factors, 
including level of education, illiteracy, poverty, myriad social customs
and values, religious beliefs, mindset of the society to treat marriage
as a sacrament,&quot; Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhury, minister of state for 
home, had told Rajya Sabha in April.<br />
<br />
Contradicting the argument, 
activists and champions of women's rights, as well voices in the 
opposition ranks, have denounced the government stand as retrograde, 
with many pointing out that the UN Committee on Elimination of 
Discrimination against Women has recommended to India that marital rape 
be criminalized. Justice J S Verma committee also recommended the 
criminalization of marital rape.<br />
<br />
According to the UN Population 
Fund, more than two-thirds of married women in India, aged 15 to 49, 
have been beaten, or forced to provide sex. In 2011, the International 
Men and Gender Equality Survey revealed that one in five has forced 
their wives or partner to have sex.<br />
<br />
Some of these concerns are 
likely to come up in Monday's meeting that will include stakeholders 
from the government, civil society and non-government organizations.<br />
<br />
Among
the other issues that the high level committee on women has addressed 
are that age of consent must be revised form the present 18 years to 16 
years. It has also suggested that rape by armed personnel in the place 
of or during their duty must be penalized and AFSPA be revoked.<br />
<br />
The
report has also recommended that the definitions of &quot;cruelty&quot; under the
anti-dowry act be widened to include all forms of violence against 
women and the definition of dowry be expanded to include any property, 
valuable given directly or indirectly, before or after marriage in 
connection with marriage.<br />
<br />
Honour crimes should be dealt with a 
separate legislation while police should take strict and immediate 
action to prevent archaic practices like witch-hunting, the report says.
It has also suggested regulating sale of acid and similar corrosive 
substances to prevent acid attacks on women.
