B a married man commits sex with C a girl child of 16 years with her consent. What offence B has committed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Sexual intercourse with a girl below the statutory age of consent (eighteen years) is "Rape" under Section 63 BNS (formerly s.375 IPC) irrespective of her consent, since the consent of a minor is no defence. The fact that B is a married man is irrelevant to this offence.
