Now this bit of news has me confused. More like divided on the issue of which party deserves more sympathy. The woman, who in a way duped by a homosexual man into marriage. Or the man who now constantly lives under the fear of IPC 377 now that his bedroom secret is out.
A sessions court at Fort has been busy hearing an unusual matter—a wealthy businessman and a sailor with the merchant navy have had to plead for protection from arrest after the wife of the former alleged that the duo was in a homosexual relationship. The Gamdevi police even registered a case under Section 377 of the IPC—the law that criminalises homosexual relations—against the two. [Link]
Life’s unkind. What more to say?
Stumble it!
MJ, i m not very clear about this section. Does it applies to females too???
DK – Well the IPC 377 applies to all. However with women its difficult to prove the act of “penetration” aka sexual intercourse.
Guess we are a little lucky in this matter.
Her reporting it is very spiteful and doghearted. I can definitely understand her fear of possibly being exposed to STDs (as anyone who’s in a supposedly monogamous relationship who finds out that their partner is cheating, heterosexually or not) and the shame/inadequacy she may feel, but going to the police? She should’ve gone for a sizeable payoff and leave her husband.
