g_b TOI: Pre-marital sex not shocking, all cases not rape: HC
The issues of consent and agency that this judgment raises are significant, especially since some of the women's organisations affiliated to the right wing of Indian polity continue to spout the fact that 'bharatiya naari' are: (A) only sexual after a proper seven-phera marriage since that is proper Indian culture, (B) that women are never ever willing participant in any sexual act (other than after solemnisation of above said marriage) since that is not Indian culture (in any event men are the ones with the decision making capacity, in their world view), and (C) finally that if ever it comes to light that the woman has actually had a sexual relationship outside of the bounds of culture as describe above, then she must be the victim of the man's wiles!! Happily the court does not fall for that bull crappy narrative!

View on indianexpress.com http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/no-separate-proposal-to-repeal-or-amend-section-377-govt/ Preview by Yahoo The news is not unexpected, but what is surprising is the number of cases registered under the section : 140 in delhi, 127 in UP, 98 in Maharashtra and 99 in Haryana. I believe non-consensual m-t-m sex , including that with a minor male is booked under section 377. Wonder how many of these cases might be of consensual sex between two adult males? It also appears that the National Crime Records Bureau has begun registering cases under section 377 from this year only. So it is difficult to find out whether the number of cases registered has increased after the Supreme Court decision last December. In Loksabha, another minister said that any decision can be taken only after the Supreme court takes a decision. Hadn't the Supreme court said in its the business of the legislature to decide upon the section? The matter is sub-judiced before the Supreme Court. A decision regarding Section 377 of IPC can be taken only after pronouncement of judgement by the Supreme Court,” Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju told Lok Sabha in a written reply. - See more at: No plans to amend Section 377 till SC decision: Modi govt http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/no-plans-to-amend-section-377-till-sc-decision-govt/#sthash.8bA9BywL.dpuf http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/no-plans-to-amend-section-377-till-sc-decision-govt/#sthash.8bA9BywL.dpuf No plans to amend Section 377 till SC decision: Mod... http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/no-plans-to-amend-section-377-till-sc-decision-govt/#sthash.8bA9BywL.dpuf The SC is at present hearing a curative petition on the matter.
