Marital Rape

One of the comments:

"I don't know what's worse - the tweet or the community note."

Sad.

I didn't know it was a thing.

I mean, I knew it was a "thing," but not a part of the culture.

The "such as" in the tweet is potentially changing the meaning a lot. I have no clue what the protests or the laws about, but maybe the guys protest against something in those laws that is not related to marital rape?

India still hasn’t managed to eradicate the practice of sati, the ritual burning of widows on their deceased husband’s funeral pyre, nor enforce its prohibition under the country’s criminal code under a 1987 law.

In 19 century British came close to ending the practice as described by Governor Charles Napier when Hindu priests met with him to complain about the British prohibition of the practice:

Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs!
