The court also said that the appellant has rightly stated that according to exception-2 under Section 375 of the IPC, a person’s sex with his wife cannot be called misdemeanor. Therefore, the court said that the allegations against the appellant under Section 376 cannot remain. The bench also found that in a reply filed by the victim on the petition to restore the marital rights of the appellant, it has not accused the appellant of marriage or forced marriage.
