The proposed law defines sexual offences such as rape as an act by a man against a woman or a child. Currently, sexual offences against men are covered under Section 377.
The government introduced a bill in Parliament on Friday seeking to overhaul the Indian Penal Code, a set of laws that define and prescribe punishments for crimes in India. One of the changes proposed is to drop Section 377 of the existing Indian Penal Code.
In effect, the proposed law envisions no punishment for unnatural sexual offences against men. The proposed law defines sexual offences such as rape as an act by a man against a woman or a child. Currently, sexual offences against men are covered under Section 377.
