What is the law for sexual act between minors in India


05-Sep-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Suppose two minor males A/B(age: 7 and 15) engage in sexual act with each other, then are they will be criminals according to indian laws? Can this act be deemed as rape ? If yes who will be the criminal? It happened 6 yrs before.And same thing had happened with male B(age:15) when he was at the age of 6 by other minor male.All these acts were consensual.

Well, this is not a problem personally related with you but as you asked you must have to complaint before the police against both the person ,even these were consensual but both were minor so both have committed crime & both will be culprit against the state because both have violated the Law. Any person may be the informant in this matter. But recently our Apex Court has passed a judgment regarding legality of sec.377 ipc but in case of major partners only . In your case both are minor hence both will be guilty against the Law.
