Man can't claim ownership of wife's body: HC
Hindustan Times Bengaluru|January 03, 2025
Respecting a woman's bodily autonomy is not just a legal obligation but also a moral imperative of the husband, the High Court said
HT Correspondent

PRAYAGRAJ: The Allahabad high court has observed that it is time for men to realise that a woman's body, privacy and rights are her own and not subject to the control or ownership of her husband.

The court, according to a report on news portal Live Law, said that a man is expected to honour the trust and faith reposed in him by his wife and sharing their intimate videos amounts to a violation of the inherent confidentiality that defines the bond between the two.
