Add Age of consent (for sex)

Indian Penal Code vs Child Marriage Act vs Child Trafficking Act

Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde on Mar 26, 2013 cited the 153-year-old IPC to defend his proposal for lowering the consent age for sex to 16 years, days after the anti-rape Bill passed by Parliament retained the age at 18.[[1]]

"The consent age of 16 years was incorporated in IPC (Indian Penal Code) in 1860. However, the minister, while making this assertion, did not mention about Child Marriage Act, which came into force in 2007, and Child Trafficking Act under which the definition of child has been fixed below 18 years.
