Antecedents of Marital Rape Cases: Disgracing Assailants via Social Media Forums
Abstract
Indian society has never freed itself from the shackles of patriarchy and its age-old norms. In a diverse nation like India, with age-old gender stereotypes, beliefs, and tradition, the concept of marital rape stands as vague and hence isn't illegal. As all the three pillars of democracy—judiciary, legislature, and executive—stand blindfolded, the only ray of hope lies with the media as they play a major role in shaming the attackers and holding them accountable. The current study is central to understanding the role of social media in shaming the attackers of marital rape by analyzing the possible impact of physical force used by the perpetrator and sexual assault severity on post-trauma stress disorder and coping self-efficacy in particular in marital rape victims. Thus, in this ground, social media can be an effective medium to bring forth the conversations about marital rape into the public sphere by conducting debates, seminars, and interviews in order to effectively engage the public to understand their mindset.
