Update on UPPSC Prelims:
1. The Prelims paper is not happening on 26 or 27th October. That is 500% certain. Any newspaper or youtube channel telling you otherwise is just chasing attention.
2. As things stand today, the date in December doesn’t seem likely and the Commission is trying for first week of January.
However, since it coincides with the Kumbh in UP, it will be difficult to conduct the exam in Jan 25.
3. As of today, the most likely scenario is March or April 25 (most likely in the last week of March or first week of April).
It is a verified information received from credible insiders.
Any new developments will be posted on the following channel

Reasons for Recent Heavy Rainfall in the Sahara Desert
Extratropical Cyclone:
An extratropical cyclone formed over the Atlantic, bringing significant moisture to the Sahara, particularly affecting Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya
Unprecedented Rainfall Amounts:
In September 2024, some areas received over (3.9 inches) of rain in just 24hr.
Climate Change Impacts:
Meteorologists suggest that climate change increasing atmospheric moisture and evaporation rates, leading to more frequent and intense storms in the region
Historical Context:
Prior to this event, Morocco experienced six consecutive years of drought, emphasizing the rarity and significance of this rainfall event
Hydrological Effects:
The rainfall has revitalized long-dry lakes, such as 🏞 Lake Iriqui, which had been dry for over fifty years, indicating a significant hydrological shift in the region.
Potential Future Trends:
extratropical cyclones are rare but may become more common due to changing climatic conditions in the Sahara...

🔆The Marital Rape Exception: A Contentious Issue :
✅The Exception: The Marital Rape Exception (MRE) in India allows husbands to have sexual intercourse with their wives without their consent, regardless of whether the wife is above or below the age of eighteen. This provision is under challenge before the Supreme Court.
✅The Centre's Stance: The Centre has filed an affidavit in support of the MRE, arguing that the differential treatment of married and unmarried women is justified by the "continuing expectation of reasonable sexual access" within marriage.
Key Arguments: The Centre's arguments include:
✅ The expectation of sexual access is unique to marriage.
✅ The MRE does not violate the right to equality.
✅ The MRE is a matter of legislative competence.
✅ Recognizing marital rape would harm the institution of marriage.
✅ False allegations of marital rape would be difficult to disprove.
✅Criticisms: Critics argue that the Centre's arguments are flawed and do not justify the MRE. They contend that:
✅ The expectation of sexual access is not unique to marriage.
✅ The MRE violates the right to equality and dignity of women.
✅ The MRE is a matter of judicial review.
✅ The MRE does not protect the institution of marriage.
✅ False allegations can be addressed through the criminal justice system.
Prelims Question: What is the Marital Rape Exception in India?
Mains Question: Analyze the arguments for and against the Marital Rape Exception and discuss its constitutional validity.
