The present study was conducted with an objective to investigate the level of awareness among the students of one of the central university located in Lucknow. Marital rape implies that women who mostly are subject to sexual offences are not even safe in their homes. And the reluctance and willful ignorance of people and legislature to admit its presence makes it even harder for women who are actually subject of this heinous act to demand safety. That is why there should not be any act out of the purview of culpability under criminal administration which violates the integrity, consent and individuality of a person. The respondents, which are the students, are of the opinion that marital rape is not a very serious issue for women, as she has to live with husband and he has the responsibility to be her better half and stand with her in thin and thick, this view raises some concerns on the part of society.
