Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, in which of the following circumstances, a woman in exercise of her right of private defence of the body can cause death of the perpetrator?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 38(g) of the BNS covers throwing or administering acid and attempts to do either where grievous hurt may reasonably be apprehended, subject to section 37. A bare demand for sexual favours, voyeurism or stalking does not by itself establish a section 38 ground; accompanying facts could create a separate qualifying assault.
