This paper is an attempt to highlight the impact of marital rape on a woman physically as well as mentally and the reason why she is required to be protected from such a heinous offence. The paper also focuses on studying the significance of marital rape in IPC and finding the reasons why it has not been covered under the very definition of rape under Sec. 375. Further the researchers have tried to draw a comparison regarding the laws relating to such an offence in various countries across the globe and why it is the need of the hour to criminalize marital rape and serve people committing this offence with punishment equivalent to that of rape itself in India. Therefore, it aims to prepare, suggest and create awareness amongst married women about heinous offence that is marital rape. It is developed with the vision to create the awareness towards women about marital rape including the views and opinions of the public at large. It is followed through a different legal perception of marital rape in India
