What you have said about the IPC is correct, but the rest of the statements are your opinion, and not recognised by the law. THis law is used in case, where husband files a case against another man. It tells that if a man has to file a case against another man, regarding him having sex with his wife, he can only book the case for adultry and not for rape.Originally posted by: gangubai1
Do you know that there is a law that actually allows men to pimp their wives under the garb of Naata Pratha
Section 497 of IPC says, "Whoever has sexual intercourse with a person who is and whom he knows or has reason to believe to be the wife of another man, without the consent or connivance of that man, such sexual intercourse not amounting the offence of rape, is guilty of the offence of adultery and shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to 5 years, or with fine, or with both. In such case, the wife shall not be punishable as an abettor."
This means that if a man has sex with a married woman without her husband's knowledge or permission, then he is committing adultery - not rape, but adultery. Translating to - a man has the right to allow another man to live with his wife even if the wife is unwilling, then the husband and the molester can both go scot-free. The woman has no say in the matter.
