17.5 yr girl will considrd minor in rape case or not???

The rape was done/ commited at the time when the girl was a minor, hence now attending the adult hood does not make any difference. The offence of rape is rape whether the victim is minor or adult. Age is immaterial.

She will be considred minor in rape case because she was minor at the time that act of s*x took place. If there is a case against her, besides finding technical faults and latches in the prosecution case, see if there is scope to convince the court that smuggling of intoxicating substances was done by force, ceorcion, terror, blackmail etc. etc. against her will and there was no mens rea, she was not aware what the substance was etc. etc. etc. etc. Sending her to jail for this will not serve the overall aim and ends of justice etc. etc. She is young and has a beautiful and happy life ahead of her provided the court takes this matter in a humane manner with empathy and sympathy.

In India 18 is the age of majority and it is a rape of a minor at 17.5 years

rape committed against any age of women is punshable offence . As far age of 17.5 years is concerned the girl may be minor butif she was consenting party then her is relevant but had been the girl below the ageof sixteen years even if she would have consented for s*xual intercourse it would have been immaterial as per provisions os sec 375 of ipc.Hence the consentof girl of 17.5 years has to be considerd material as can be seen from the facts narrated by u.Girl have to prove in the trial that she was not consenting party even if presumption is in favour of prosecution becoz the facts narrated showsa very improbable and inspiring story which i dont reckon court will rely upon to convict the accussed.
