FAQs

Why list categories like relatives and clan?

Because sexual impropriety involving close social networks destabilizes kinship order and triggers stronger state concern; it also clarifies legally recognizable aggravating contexts.

What is the policy intent behind criminalizing/penalizing such conduct within marriage?

To contain household conflict from escalating into broader social disorder and to set enforceable limits on cruelty/coercion.
