Law and statue of limitation regarding child abuse in India
08-Apr-2023 (In Criminal Law)
In our family a male child was sexually and emotionally abused by two girls when he was 15 years old. One of the girls was 15 years old but mentally quite more mature than him and another girl was this first girl's sister who was 25 years old....Both girls parents knew about this but did not say anything because they were supportive of sex as they believed in OSHO's sex to super conscious. In my view her parents were also complicit. This happened in India, I would like know what laws apply here...? I am asking about both criminal and civil sides. I also want to know statute of limitation of any IPC you might suggest. This boy is now grown man and he recently discovered he was harmed.
Any sexual abuse of a minor is punishable under POSCO. It comes under criminal offence n a cognizable offence. Thus, non-compoundable. I doubt if you can raise the dispute now that he has attained maturity. There are several Criminal sections r applicable. You may contact me for further guidance.
