NOB- Delhi news: Amicus curiae and senior advocate Indira Jaising has moved the Supreme Court seeking to lower the age of consent for sexual activity from 18 to 16 under the POCSO Act. She argued in the Supreme Court challenging the POCSO Act 2012 and Section 375 of the IPC, which criminalises sexual activity between 16-18 years of age. She said the current law criminalises consensual love relationships between adolescents, which violates their constitutional rights.The POCSO Act misrepresents consensual relationships between adolescents. It ignores their autonomy, maturity and consent. There is no rational reason or empirical data to justify raising the age of consent to 16-18 years. Raising the age of sexual consent to 18 years without discussion.
