Myth of consent
India’s refusal to criminalise marital rape rests on a premise that is rarely stated plainly but widely enforced: that consent, once given at marriage, is permanent.
Actress Ellen Page says she is married to “extraordinary woman” Emma Portner.
Page, 30, shared the news of the gay marriage with her fans on Instagram on Wednesday, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Portner also shared the same images and wrote: “I get to call this incredible woman my wife! Ellen Page, I love you.”
Portner works as a professional dancer and choreographer at the Broadway Dance Centre here.
Page is best known for her roles in films like “X-Men: The Last Stand“, “Inception”, “To Rome with Love” and “My Days of Mercy”.
