It's hardly illegal in many countries because hard to prove and to define.

Intentions of making it illegal are close to 0. So it's not going to be a law anytime soon.

? Meaning his word against hers? Most rape cases are but that doesn't mean you shouldn't make it illegal. I don't understand what you mean.

because men regard it part of "our" culture" (check tweets)

also let's be real women are still thought of as property.

Most men wouldn't have sex if arranged marriage wasn't a norm.

Imagine taking that away from them?

I know, this and the criminal offence taken off from gay people is what I really wish was done as soon as possible.

Because sex after marriage becomes a right of tge spouse. In events of continuous denial of sex, a divorce can be filed.

I read a case where divorce is granted when spouse denied the marital relationship.

The same reason why adultery is a crime for men, but not for women.
Or why wife gets alimony from the husband after the divorce, if she's not financially independent, but not the other way round.

Wife is a property of husband according to Indian law.
