The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that unnatural sex with one's wife does not constitute rape under the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The court stressed that consent becomes immaterial in such cases. Justice Gurpal Singh Ahluwalia clarified that forced anal sex by a husband on his wife, provided she is at least 15 years old, would not be classified as rape.
