Explanation using Example
Example 1:
Ravi, a 30-year-old man, forces himself on Priya, a 25-year-old woman, and penetrates her vagina with his penis without her consent. Priya repeatedly tells Ravi to stop and tries to push him away, but he continues. This act falls under Section 63(a)(i) of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, as Ravi penetrated Priya against her will.
Example 2:
Aman, a 28-year-old man, tricks Neha, a 22-year-old woman, into believing that he is her husband by impersonating him in a dark room. Neha consents to sexual intercourse under the false belief that Aman is her husband. This situation falls under Section 63(a)(iv) of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, as Neha's consent was obtained through deception.
Example 3:
Vikram, a 35-year-old man, inserts his fingers into the vagina of Anjali, a 17-year-old girl. Even though Anjali does not resist, she is under eighteen years of age. This act falls under Section 63(b)(vi) of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, as any sexual act with a minor, with or without consent, is considered rape.
Example 4:
Rajesh, a 40-year-old man, forces his wife, who is 19 years old, to have sexual intercourse with him. Although she is reluctant and does not physically resist, she does not verbally consent either. This act does not fall under the exceptions provided in the act, as the wife is not under eighteen years of age, and her lack of physical resistance does not imply consent. Therefore, it falls under Section 63(a)(ii) of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023.
Example 5:
Suresh, a 32-year-old man, administers a drug to Meera, a 24-year-old woman, causing her to become unconscious. While Meera is unconscious, Suresh penetrates her vagina with his penis. This act falls under Section 63(a)(v) of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, as Meera was unable to understand the nature and consequences of the act due to intoxication.
Example 6:
Karan, a 29-year-old man, forces his mouth onto the vagina of Ritu, a 26-year-old woman, without her consent. Ritu tries to push Karan away and tells him to stop, but he continues. This act falls under Section 63(d)(ii) of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, as Karan applied his mouth to Ritu's vagina without her consent.
Example 7:
Manoj, a 33-year-old man, manipulates the body of Sunita, a 21-year-old woman, to cause penetration into her vagina with an object. Sunita is unable to communicate her consent due to a physical disability. This act falls under Section 63(c)(vii) of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, as Sunita was unable to communicate consent.
