      Question

      A husband forces sexual intercourse upon his 20-year-old

      wife against her will. Under Section 63 Exception 2, what is the legal position?
      A Rape because force was used against her will Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Not rape due to Exception 2 protecting marital sexual relations Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rape if the wife files a complaint Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Not rape unless she is below 18 years of age Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rape because consent is required even in marriage Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Exception 2 states "Sexual intercourse or sexual acts by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under eighteen years of age, is not rape." This creates a marital rape exception, meaning sexual intercourse within marriage (where wife is 18+) cannot legally constitute rape under this provision, regardless of consent issues.
