Mohammedan Law Comes To Rapists' Rescue

A Muslim man has been absolved of charges of illegally confining and raping a minor by a Delhi court which cited the Mahomedan Law that allows a 15-year-old girl to marry against the wishes of her parents.

The IPC treats a girl as minor till she attains the age of 16 years and establishing physical relations with her, even with her consent, is an offense entailing life term as maximum sentence.
IE: Delhi court cites Mahomedan Law to absolve man of raping minor
