One political party says crimes are going up. They say crimes against women grew by 42%. Crimes against children grew by 204% since 2013. This happens most in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan. Some people say the police do not catch bad people. They think powerful people protect criminals. This makes the law weak. Now, the court is looking at a law about marriage. In India, rape inside a marriage is not a crime. Some people want to change this. They say every person has a right to say no.
Conclusion
India has more crimes. The laws do not protect married women from sexual violence.
