Age of Consent for Sexual act
It is nothing but silly to argue whether name it r@pe or sexual assault
as it is the deed which is important than what it is called. It will be
better to classify all sexual assault where there is a contact of male
sexual organ on the body of the victim whether male or female. Sexual
assaults like touching on the body of the victim with an intention to
attack her or his modesty but not physically cause any harm. To bring
stalking and such as a sexual assault is not proper. If someone
persistently follow someone it should be termed as criminal harassment.
It will be better if it is brought under some other clause of IPC. And
the move to bring down the age of consensual sex from 18 to 16 is most
foolish move. When the minimum age for marriage for a girl is 18 what it
is the logic in bringing consensual sex to 16? Is it not encouraging
premarital sex? You sleep with a girl but cannot marry till she attains
the age of 18 ! Wonderful logic. If someone r@pes a girl of 16 and the
case goes for trial and the accused claims that she had agreed for the
sexual act it will be very difficult for the girl to prove that she did
not consent. The defence attorney will put the girl through a wringer
and girl would have thought it would have been better if she has not
complained at all. For what purpose is this move. Whom does the
government wants to protect? There will be many more Suryanelli cases
and many a big wig will escape the arms of law on this count only. They
will not need to cook up any alibi. They can straight away say that 'she
was willing'. The argument that youth caught at the sexual act are
harassed is no excuse for premarital sex. Anyone who wants to do wait
till they attain the prescribed age. Here there is one more anomaly. For
boys the minimum age for marriage is 21 years. Then is it not crime to
do a sexual act before they attain 21 years. The age prescribed for boys
and girls are according to the human physiology. Especially in the case
of girls. A girl is not fit physiologically to bear child before she is
18. It is an average one and may change with individuals. So if a girl
of 16 had consensual sex and she gets pregnant how do you account for
the act? Will the girl arrested for marrying someone when she was 18? Is
not sexual act the consummation of marriage? Is it not all other
ceremonies like 'saptapadi' and all just to legalise the marriage?
Government seems to be stacked with not only corrupt but morons and
stupids. And if these 'unpads' are to make laws even God will not be
able to save this country. What else to expect when corrupt and @apists
and murderers and all sorts of criminals have a free hand?
