This paper speaks about those battered women who have been the victims of serious abuse, harassment, rape in the name of the marriage. Marital rape, a broad term which magnifies the gaping loophole existing in our Indian Criminal Justice system, where it is considered not a crime besides being evil and an injurious act. India is among those 36 countries which had not considered Marital Rape as a criminal offence though it causes severe psychological, gynaecological, and physical health problems to the victims. One of the root causes for this is the unawareness of sex education. This paper highlights how it leads to marital rape and how we can handle it. Time has arrived to let the country know that marriage, which is considered as the bond of birth to birth in our country, is not a licence to commit the ghastly act. We have conducted two surveys one in a government school and the other at a small village. The findings of our surveys are in mentioned in this paper. Further, it is not mandatory that every evil act prevailing in our country needs a Reformer. When we all raise the quality of our mindset towards our women by respecting them and their feelings, then all the women will climb to the topmost rung of the development ladder and will embrace our nation.
