The practice of two consenting couples having sex with another married man and woman is known as "wife swapping." Due to the shame associated with "sex and sex-related talks," wife swapping was a covert activity and is not a recent phenomenon.
The practice of exchanging wives was first publicly observed during World war II, and a significant number of people engaged in it. Millions of people died during the war, so few military personnel, notably those in the Navy and the air Force, openly traded partners for sex in order to meet the needs of the deceased's wife, including her sexual wants. Later, in 1957, after noticing the public's interest in wife swapping, the magazine MR began running an ad column supporting the practice.
Furthermore, wife-swapping became more frequent as a result of the development of technology and the general availability of the internet. Many websites are devoted to wife-swapping, and some couples even make their own private websites where other people can join clubs for wife-swapping. Consequently, the custom of exchanging wives spread to other nations, and it is still observed in places like India. The wife-swapping custom and other topics in india are covered in this article.
Sex-Related Norms in India
People in india revere "Shivalingas," which stand for the fusion of the feminine and masculine. Additionally, it is well-known around the world for the text known as the "Kamasutra," which
Includes the tenets of lust (eroticism and sexuality text). Khujaraothe is a Hindu and Jain temple that is well-known for its sexual sculptures and Nagara-style architectural symbolism.
The word "sex" is still prohibited in india, even though the country is home to the Shivalingas and Kamasutras as well as the temple of Khujaraothe. Instead of having an open conversation about sex, people still choose to keep it to themselves in their bedrooms.
In recent years, india has adopted the open wife-swapping notion, which has gained popularity throughout the nation.
RELATED ISSUES WITH THE PRACTICE
The practice of married couples trading partners for a specific agreement to engage in sexual activity is known as "swapping." Cheating has been made more acceptable to a new extent if it is done with consent. The custom of switching spouses for enjoyment has become widespread in the nation, despite the belief held by society that marriage is a sacrament and that married couples should only engage in sexual intercourse. India is a patriarchal nation that has historically exploited women. The number of crimes against women is rising quickly, and they are taking on new forms in order to take advantage of them. The husband is abusing the wife-swapping custom in the following ways:
TO FULFILL AMBITIONS
As a result of the growing practice of wife swapping, it has been noted that husbands are using their wives to achieve their goals and aspirations by asking them to attend to the physical demands of their superiors or bosses in order to gain promotions and other professional advantages. Several cases demonstrate this. For example, in 2012, the wife of a Navy officer petitioned the supreme court, claiming that her husband's senior officer at INS kochi had approached her with an offer of wife swapping. When the husband rejected the offer, the senior officer allegedly threatened him.
In addition, Shubham Sonker's husband and five other Navy members were charged with sexual assault and physical and emotional abuse of his wife in a formal complaint. According to the wife's accusations, there is a case of wife swapping.
According to Joseph Shine v. Union of india, 2018 sc 1676, adultery was decriminalized in india in 2018 as a violation of Article 14 (right to equality) and Article 21 (right to life and personal liberty). In order to maintain discipline within the armed services, the Center ultimately petitioned the supreme court of india in january 2021 to retain adultery a felony in the military.
SPERM COMPETITION THEORY
The husband is naturally forced to have more vigorous and prolonged sexual relations with a woman when she has sex with a man other than her spouse. According to Robin Baker and Mark Bellis, a biological reaction is a shorter refractory period between erections, harder ejaculates, and more sperm in the ejaculate.
WIFE SWAPPING RACKET
In addition to making such activities more common, technological innovation has occasionally made it easier to see such grave problems. In episode 37 of the YouTube channel Althwaf Vlogs, a woman talks about her experience in january 2022. "My husband claims that it makes him happy to see me lie with others, but I told him that I don't want all of this and that I want to stop," she stated. She complained after that interview. According to shilpa Dyavaiah, Kottayam's district police chief, "it is a rape case and not a couple swapping case."
Gang rape, unnatural sexual relations, bribery, criminal intimidation, and aiding and abetting were all listed in the FIR. Although sex rackets have been in kerala for a while, the widespread practice of wife swapping was unheard of; this is alarming because such patterns have never been discovered before.
CONCERNED LAWS IN INDIA
Since the practice of wife swapping is a relatively recent phenomenon in india, there is currently no law or statute that specifically addresses the offenses involved. Certain crimes are covered by the indian Penal Code, including rape (section 376), gang rape (376D), sexual harassment (354A), outraging women's modesty (354), criminal intimidation (section 505), and unnatural sexual contact without consent (section 377). In addition, laws like the Domestic Violence Act of 2005 address financial, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and section 4 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act of 1956 stipulates that anyone—including family members—who lives off of prostitution money faces penalties.
Other difficulties, such as voyeurism, stealthing (removing a condom during sexual activity without agreement), marital rape, STDs, mental and physical health disorders, etc., can also be associated with wife swapping. Wife swapping also results in the objectification of women and their sexual exploitation, which is against Article 21 of the constitution as well as their fundamental rights under Articles 14 (Equality) and 15 (Prohibition of Discrimination on the basis of sex).
