The sale of obscene objects to persons below _______ of age is a separate offence attracting enhanced punishment under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 295 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 punishes selling, letting to hire, distributing, exhibiting or circulating an obscene object to a child, and section 2(3) defines a child as a person below the age of eighteen years, so the answer is "18 years". The former section 293 IPC used the higher threshold of twenty years.
