INDORE: Having sex with wife, without her consent, also falls in the category of rape. It has been discussed a lot, but a live example came to the fore in the city when a woman lodged a complaint before police, accusing her husband for the same which led his arrest on Saturday.
The CSP, Pardeshipura, Devendra PS Rajput, said that Reshma (name changed), a woman in her thirties was victimised by her husband in the intervening night between Friday and Saturday. The victim used to live in Nanda Nagar with her daughter.
Quoting the complainant, he said that her husband Ramesh Yadav entered in the house at around 1.30 and had made relationship forcefully. In the morning, the lady reached to Pardeshipura police and lodged her complaint.
Police booked the accused under Section 377 (Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine) of Indian Penal Code.
He further informed that Ramesh has two wives. Ramesh was married to the victim around five years ago. They lived together for years together, before getting separated. Now, the accused lives with his another wife in Velocity area and the victim was living in Nanda Nagar area with her daughter.
In the investigation, the woman has reportedly said that she did not shout as she feared that her daughter will get up and it will create wrong impression on her.
Prior to it, the victim lady has also alleged her husband of dowry harassment as well.
Psychiatrist Pali Rastogi said that itas crucial to understand because the husband was living separately with the lady. If it is genuine and he has made sex forcefully, then it comes under the category of rape, he said adding that police should investigate the case as the accused was living with his another wife, so the case might be something different.
