Give the incorrect response- Section 28 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 lays down that in following cases, consent shall not be a valid consent

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

The incorrect statement is that Section 28 BNS (formerly section 90 IPC) generally invalidates consent from everyone under eighteen. Its age rule concerns a child under twelve, unless the context indicates otherwise. The section also addresses consent affected by fear or misconception known to the actor, and consent given by someone unable to understand because of unsoundness of mind or intoxication. Other offences can impose different age requirements, but those are distinct from this general provision.
