Consensual sex a legal grey area as consent given by a minor is not valid consent in the eyes of law, says court
The Delhi High Court has termed as “unfortunate” the practice of the police filing cases under the stringent Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act at the behest of the girl’s family, who object to her friendship and romantic involvement with a young man.
Justice Subramonium Prasad made the remarks while granting bail to a 21-year-old young man, who is facing charges of rape under the POCSO Act on the complaint filed by a 17-year-old girl.
