What seems to be the real injustice here is the fact that one half of 'the family' is being oppressed. It is that half of the family, which actually takes care of the rest. Isn't the purpose of a 'cordial family' already defeated then?

Section 375 of the IPC states, "Sexual Intercourse or act by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under 15 years of age, is not rape." This insensitive law completely disregards the times when a wife is brutally molested by her own husband. This law is so ancient, it has not even been amended even after the legal age of marriage of a girl was increased to 18.
