Adil Khan Durrani, the ex-husband of Rakhi Sawant, has once again found himself at the center of controversy due to his recent comments during an interview with Times Now/Telly Talk. Durrani, who has been involved in various legal disputes with his former spouse, made a dismissive statement about the existence of marital rape, calling it a “fairy tale.” His insensitive remarks have sparked outrage, highlighting the importance of consent in all relationships.
While addressing the rape allegations Rakhi Sawant had leveled against him, Durrani downplayed the issue of marital rape, stating, “As far as I see, marital rape doesn’t really happen in society. I know a lot of people, and I have many international friends too, and I’ve never heard of marital rape happening. There are far fewer cases of marital rape compared to actual rape.”
Durrani’s comments, which suggest that marital rape is either rare or non-existent, have stirred strong reactions. His views reflect a dangerous misunderstanding of the issue, as he seems to suggest that if a couple no longer has mutual interest in intimacy, it is merely a sign of a lack of love. He further added that if a husband forces his wife, they should not stay together, implying that marital rape is simply a relationship issue rather than a criminal act.
In the same interview, Durrani discussed the ongoing legal battle between him and Rakhi Sawant, revealing that their next court hearing is scheduled for November. According to Durrani, Rakhi must return to India for the proceedings. He also accused Rakhi of falsely labeling him as a rapist and a domestic abuser, which has fueled the ongoing feud between them.
Adil Khan Durrani’s legal troubles extend beyond Rakhi Sawant, as he is also facing allegations of domestic violence from his current wife, Somi Ali Khan. Earlier this year, Durrani tied the knot with Bigg Boss 12 fame Somi Khan, and their marriage has since been marked by accusations and public drama. The couple made headlines when Durrani shared photos of their wedding, along with a picture of their Nikah Nama (marriage certificate), in March.
From allegations of rape and domestic abuse to a tumultuous relationship with Rakhi Sawant, Durrani’s personal life continues to be a subject of public scrutiny. His recent comments have only added to the controversy, drawing attention to the seriousness of marital rape and the importance of addressing such issues with the gravity they deserve.
