I am a student of journalism and mass communication. In order to spread awareness, we intend to make a documentary abut a seriously unattended topic ' Male rape'. So, I wanted to ask about the laws regarding this issue in india. Are there any laws and if yes then what is the punishment. It will be kindly helpful if you answer me back.

The IPC defines rape as follows: 1. A man is said to commit “rape” if he: a. Penetrates his penis, to any extent, into the vagina, mouth, urethra, or anus of a woman or makes her do so with any other person; or b. Inserts, to any extent, any object or a part of the body into the vagina, mouth, urethra, or anus of a woman or makes her do so with any other person; or c. Manipulates any part of the body of a woman so as to cause penetration into the vagina, mouth, urethra, or anus of the woman or makes her do so with any other person; or d. Applies his mouth to the vagina, anus, or any part of the body of a woman or makes her do so with any other person. The key point to note is that the law does not specify the gender of the victim, making it applicable to male victims as well. Rape is a criminal offense in India, and perpetrators can face severe penalties, including imprisonment.
