At Rai and Associate, we provide expert legal support in rape cases. Our lawyers represent both victims and the falsely accused with sensitivity and professionalism. We understand that such cases are emotionally challenging, and we ensure complete legal protection for every client.
Under Section 375 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), rape refers to non-consensual sexual acts done against a woman’s will or without her consent. Moreover, Section 376 IPC prescribes strict punishments ranging from seven years of imprisonment to life, depending on the seriousness of the case.
Definition of Rape
Rape includes sexual acts without consent or when consent is obtained by threat, deceit, or coercion. It also applies when the woman cannot give informed consent.
Punishment for Rape
The punishment starts at seven years and can extend to life imprisonment, especially when minors or persons in authority are involved.
Aggravated Rape
This section covers cases where the offender is a police officer, doctor, teacher, or other authority figure. It also applies when the victim suffers serious injury or is underage.
