Twist in Jurisprudence: Marital Rape

Most people think they know what Marital Rape means, but let's see how AILET twists it. Question: "Marital Rape is explicitly recognized as a crime under the Indian Penal Code, 1860." So, it seems straightforward, but think again. The question is not about the IPC, it's about the S. 375 exception.

The IPC has several exceptions to S. 375, but most people ignore them. They'll be like, "Marital Rape is a crime, so it's recognized." But that's not the question. The question is: is it explicitly recognized as a crime in the context of S. 375 exceptions. Don't make the mistake of thinking it's just about the IPC, think about the exceptions, specifically S. 198. Many will get trapped in this question, so be careful.
