What is not correct about 'Rape'?
Verified Answer
A. Consent is immaterial if she is U/16 years
B. Penetration is sufficient
C. Intercourse by a man with his own wife and the wife is not being under 15 years, is not rape
D. Death penalty may be awarded
Explanation:
Section 375, Exception 2 of the IPC (marital rape exception) states that sexual intercourse by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under eighteen years of age, is not rape. If the wife is under 18 (or under 15 as per older provisions/specific contexts), it would be rape. The statement 'not being under 15 years, is not rape' is incorrect because if she is 15, it would still be rape.
