. Since it became difficult to strike fear of arrest in husband and his family members, they decided to ‘use’ IPC 377 hoping the husband will get arrested since the crime is cognizable and non-bailable (and max punishment more than 7 years so SC directive doesn’t apply).

Now just because police may take up this section and even put it in chargesheet doesn’t mean a man will get convicted. Wife will have to produce evidence, and so far I am unaware of any conviction under this clause, presumably because the section is added for fear value to get husband to give alimony/divorce, than any real desire for prosecuting him.

MRAs are aware that police is not happy about usage of this section, but are also duty bound to take complaint. But maybe the misuse has spread so much that there was recent directive by Meerut police not to take action on IPC 377 complaints. That doesn’t mean the trial won’t happen, but it means that awareness of misuse is spreading at police level too.

your question lacks certain facts that is required to answer your question. First of all you have to look what has come in the MLC of his wife does it proves penetration or any injury. Secondly you have to look at the MLC of your friend that whether it contains any injury on his private parts.
You should consult a lawyer as soon as possible s that he could look into the other material and relevant facts and circumstances of your case.

Dear Friend,
Medical examination i.e. MLC plays a big and vital role in proving 377 IPC. However, there must be an allegation about having an explicit relationship with specific or some persons, their statements will also be very important in the case.
