Sedition law: What is section 124A IPC?

Kanhaiya Kumar, Aseem Trivedi, Binayak Sen, Arundhati Roy, and Owaisi are well-known for high-profile sedition charges imposed on them. Although Thomas Macaulay, who originally drafted the Indian Penal Code in 1837, included the law on sedition (Sec. 113 of the draft code), it was not inserted in the final draft of the code enacted in 1860; this omission was considered accidental. Later, in 1890, sedition was included under section 124A IPC through Special Act XVII. But, obviously, it was subjected to massive misuse.

Section 304B IPC: Dowry Death

One of the most evil practices in India, dowry is unfortunately regarded as a status symbol. But is it? Just like every clothing item in a fashion store has a price tag attached to it. Similarly, this practice had become synonymous with the context “groom on sale”, with even bigger and bolder price tags. In 2021, Kerala witnessed the maximum increase in dowry paid by brides. Today the government has come up with several legislations like the Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961 etc., to eliminate the dowry system, & uplift the status of the girl child by implementing many schemes. But, due to the social nature of this issue, the legislation has failed to fulfil its objective in our society.

Everything about Section 376 IPC

One of the most heinous crimes committed in India is rape. In India, 31,677 instances were reported in 2021, which equates to 86 cases each day on average. These, however, are the registered numbers. I bet India has two times as many alleged rape instances.

Voyeurism as a crime: Section 354C IPC

Voyeurism is the most prevalent and potentially illegal sexual conduct. It is the practice of watching other people's sexual activities without their consent. In this type of offense, physical contact is not there, even if the sexual crime is in nature. According to the recent reports by NCRB, the total number of cases of voyeurism disposed of by Police in the year 2021 is 1403. Although these occurrences are recorded, many cases are not, either by the victims or their families. The complexity of the criminal justice system, lack of awareness of the criminal procedure, and reluctance to report sexual offenses to the police can all make victims of sexual crimes hesitant to do so. Here in this article, we’ll look into the meaning of voyeurism, various provisions rendered for voyeurism under the Indian Law System, and how a woman can deal with it.

Abortion Law: Conditions under which Abortion is allowed in India

'Women must have control over their own bodies’- a quote by Rebecca Brown, but are we actually cohering to it? It has been almost 50 years of enacting the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act 1971 (MTP act) but the issue of pregnancy and aborting the same still remains a controversial topic to discuss and not just in our country but every part of the world. The MTP Act in spite of being quite flexible with its provisions did not succeed at eliminating the delusions. According to a report based on abortions that had taken place from 2000-2004, more than half of them i.e. 56% of them were unsafe and thus it contributed to 13% of the total maternal deaths. Needless to mention that we need more awareness regarding a mother’s right to choose abortion.
