Which of the following sections of BNS deals with volenti-non fit-injuria?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The maxim volenti non fit injuria, that harm consented to is no wrong, underlies sections 25 to 27 of the BNS: section 25 covers consent by a person above eighteen, section 26 consent to an act done in good faith for the person's benefit, and section 27 a guardian's consent for a child or person of unsound mind. Each section therefore rests on consent.
