How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
SECTION I
Answer is not more than two sentences, all 10 20 Marks
1.Define woman as per IPC.[2]
Answer
Section 10 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 said the word "woman" denotes a female human being of any age. Section 2(35) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 keeps the same meaning: "woman" means a female human being of any age.
The key point. In criminal law, "woman" is not limited to adults. A girl child of any age is a "woman".
"Man". Likewise, "man" means a male human being of any age (section 2(19)).
Why it matters. Many offences protect a "woman". Because age does not matter, they protect girls too.
- Outraging modesty by assault or criminal force (section 74).
- Sexual harassment (section 75) and assault with intent to disrobe (section 76).
- Voyeurism (section 77) and stalking (section 78).
- Words, gestures or acts intended to insult a woman's modesty (section 79).
- Rape (section 63). A girl under eighteen cannot consent at all.
Example. A man touches a six-year-old girl indecently. She is a "woman" under section 2(35). He commits the offence of outraging modesty under section 74.
Extra protection for children. The Sanhita adds higher punishment for young girls. Rape of a woman under sixteen carries at least twenty years (section 65(1)). Rape of a woman under twelve may carry death (section 65(2)).
"Human being". The definition refers to a human being. It does not extend to animals.
Other law. A girl under eighteen is also a "child" under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012.
