Solan, March 12

The faculty of Legal Sciences, Shoolini University, hosted an inter-university debate competition on “Should marital rape be criminalised in India?” on Saturday.

Former District and Sessions Judge BL Soni was the guest of honour for the debate. Chauhan said: “It is an important issue and while criminalising marital rape is vital, there is a risk that the law will be misused if it is passed.”

Students from University Institute of Legal Studies (UILS), Shimla; Himachal Pradesh University, Bahra University and Shoolini University participated in the competition. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
