RAPE - Section 63 BNS (formerly Section 375 IPC)

Based on: The Essentials of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, 36th Ed. (2026) | Parikh's Textbook of Medical Jurisprudence, Forensic Medicine & Toxicology | P.C. Dikshit's Textbook of Forensic Medicine

1. DEFINITION

Section 63, BNS (= erstwhile Section 375, IPC):
A man is said to commit "rape" if he:
  • (a) Penetrates his penis, to any extent, into the vagina, mouth, urethra or anus of a woman, or makes her to do so with him or any other person; or
  • (b) Inserts, to any extent, any object or part of the body (not being the penis) into the vagina, urethra or anus of a woman, or makes her to do so; or
  • (c) Manipulates any part of the body of a woman so as to cause penetration into the vagina, urethra, anus or any part of the body of such woman; or
  • (d) Applies his mouth to the vagina, anus or urethra of a woman or makes her to do so.
Under any of the following SEVEN circumstances:
  1. Against her will
  2. Without her consent
  3. With her consent obtained by putting her or any person she is interested in fear of death or hurt
  4. With her consent, when the man impersonates her husband (she believes him to be her lawfully wedded husband)
  5. With her consent, when she is unable to understand the nature and consequences due to unsoundness of mind, intoxication, or administration of any stupefying or unwholesome substance
  6. With or without her consent, when she is under 18 years of age
  7. When she is unable to communicate consent
Explanation:
  • "Vagina" includes the labia majora
  • Consent means an unequivocal voluntary agreement communicated by words, gestures, or any verbal/non-verbal communication; a woman who does NOT physically resist shall NOT by that fact alone be regarded as consenting
Exceptions:
  1. A medical procedure or intervention shall NOT constitute rape
  2. Sexual intercourse by a man with his own wife, who is not under fifteen years of age, is not rape
(Parikh's Textbook, p. 429 | Essentials of FM & Tox, p. 402)

2. PROCEDURE OF EXAMINATION OF A RAPE VICTIM

Pre-examination Requirements:

  • Informed written consent of the victim should be obtained in the presence of a witness if she is 12 years of age or above (Section 90 IPC)
  • If under the age of consent or mentally subnormal, written consent of parent/guardian must be taken
  • Section 53(2) CrPC states that examination of a female shall be made only by, or under the supervision of, a female registered medical practitioner
  • A male doctor may examine only if a lady doctor is unavailable, and only in the presence of a female nurse/attendant
  • The victim cannot be forced to submit to examination if she refuses

Steps of Examination:

A. Preliminary Data
  • Full name, address, age, occupation, social status
  • Date and time of arrival
  • Consent for examination
  • Identification marks
  • By whom examination was requested
  • Name of the female nurse present
B. Statement of the Victim
  • Taken in her own words, verbatim as much as possible
  • Amount of violence used, position of assailant, mode of attack
  • Whether vaginal, oral, or rectal contact occurred
  • Pain, haemorrhage, sensation of penetration and emission
  • Whether she cried for help or was too terrified/fainted
  • Events after assault - whether she changed clothing, bathed, or passed urine
  • Any delay in making the complaint must have a proper explanation
C. Signs of Struggle - Examination of Clothes and Body
  • Examine clothing in good light for:
    • Tears in fabric
    • Marks of mud or grass
    • Blood or semen stains
  • Mud and blood stains: typically on back of clothes; seminal stains: on front clothes
  • Broken or bent fingernails (from scratching the accused)
  • A broken fingernail can be matched to its source by physical match or striae on undersurface (as individual as fingerprints)
D. Examination of the Body
  • General physical examination - vital signs, emotional state (hysteria, shock)
  • Look for signs of violence: bruises, abrasions, lacerations, bite marks on neck/breasts/thighs, ligature marks, scratch marks
  • Inner thighs: ecchymosis, bruising
  • Mouth for oral contact evidence
E. Genital Examination (Lithotomy position, good lighting)
  • Mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora - redness, swelling, bruising
  • Clitoris, fourchette, fossa navicularis - look for tears
  • Hymen: describe shape, orifice size, any lacerations (new vs old)
    • Fresh tears: sharp red margins, bleed on touch; edges congested/swollen even after 3-4 days
  • Vaginal orifice: size, relaxation
  • Posterior commissure rupture (usually does not occur in consensual intercourse unless severe disproportion)
  • Vaginal walls for lacerations (typically posteriorly in violent intercourse)
  • Cervix and uterus bimanual examination
  • Perianal/rectal examination if history of anal penetration
  • Buccal/oral examination if oral penetration alleged
F. Collection of Specimens (see Section 3)
G. Inference and Documentation
  • Complete medicolegal report
  • Opinion on whether findings are consistent with alleged rape
(Parikh's Textbook, pp. 432-436)

3. EVIDENCE / SAMPLES PRESERVED IN A VICTIM

SAFE (Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence) kit / PERK (Physical Evidence Recovery Kit) is used for collection and preservation.
Objects of collecting specimens:
  1. To obtain confirmation of the allegations
  2. To establish a link between the victim and the scene
  3. To establish a link between the victim and the assailant

Specimens to be Collected:

SampleMethodPurpose
Hair - 10 scalp hairs (cut close to roots from different locations)Cut in separate polythene bagsComparison
Pubic hair combingsComb onto paper, pack in polythene bagForeign hairs from assailant
Avulsed pubic hair (with roots)Polythene bagDNA profiling
Matted pubic hairSeparate bagSpermatozoa, lubricants
Loose hair anywhere on bodySeparate bagIdentify foreign hairs
Finger scrapingsWooden stick under nailsBlood or tissue from accused
Any foreign matter (fibres, soil)Polythene bagLocard's exchange principle
Blood 5 mL (plain)Refrigerate, do NOT freezeBlood grouping
Blood 5 mL (EDTA)RefrigerateDNA profile
Blood 5 mL (NaF + KOx)RefrigerateAlcohol, drugs, VD serology
Urine (NaF)RefrigerateAlcohol and drug screening
SalivaSwabSecretor grouping
Swabs from kissed/licked surfacesCotton swab, air drySalivary DNA
Vaginal swabs (high vaginal, cervical)Air dry on glass slides and in swab tubesSpermatozoa, DNA
Anal swabs (if anal penetration alleged)Same as aboveSpermatozoa, STI
Oral/buccal swabs (if oral penetration alleged)SameSpermatozoa
Vaginal washings/aspirateBlunt pipette aspirationMotile/non-motile sperms
ClothingAll items in paper bags (NOT plastic - prevents mould)Seminal/blood stains
Sanitary napkin/tampon (if used)Collected for analysisSemen traces
Used condom (if found in vagina)End tied, in paper bagContained semen
Cervical/urethral swabsFor adults - cervix + urethra; for children - vaginaGonococci (Gram -ve diplococci)
Blood for syphilis serologySTI (positive after 6 weeks)
Spermatozoa Timeline:
  • Motile sperms: present for 1-6 hours (up to 12 hours) in vagina
  • Non-motile: detectable up to 24 hours (occasionally 48-72 hours, rarely 96 hours)
  • In uterine cavity: motile for 3-5 days
  • In dead body: non-motile forms persist for weeks to months
DNA Fingerprinting: Y-chromosome STR markers can determine the number of semen donors.
Corroborative Physical Evidence:
  1. Seminal fluid - proof of sexual connection but NOT of rape alone
  2. Vaginal discharges - if assailant has VD, transmits it to victim (strong corroborative evidence)
  3. Signs of struggle - physical evidence on body and clothing
  4. Presence of spermatozoa
(Essentials of FM & Tox, 36th Ed., pp. 411-412)

4. CLINICAL FINDINGS IN A VICTIM OF 14 YEARS

A 14-year-old is a post-pubertal adolescent girl. She would likely be a virgin (hymen intact, though possibly with annular/septal/cribiform variations). At 14 years, findings will be intermediate between a child and an adult woman.

General Findings:

  • Evidence of emotional shock, hysteria, or fear
  • Dishevelled appearance, torn/dirty clothing
  • Bruises, abrasions, or lacerations on the body - neck, wrists (restraint marks), thighs, breasts
  • Bite marks on breasts, neck, shoulders
  • Scratch marks (linear abrasions) from assailant's nails
  • Inner thigh ecchymosis (hallmark finding from forced separation of thighs)
  • Ligature marks on wrists or ankles if tied

Local/Genital Findings:

  • Vulval oedema, redness, and tenderness - very likely given age and narrow vaginal introitus
  • Fourchette tear - commonly seen in virgins; margins sharp and red (fresh), or congested and swollen (3-4 days later)
  • Fossa navicularis disappears with fourchette tear
  • Hymenal tears - most significant finding:
    • Fresh (within 24-48 hours): irregular, sharp, red margins, bleed on touch
    • Margins congested even at 3-4 days
    • Most commonly at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions (posterior half)
    • Complete tears extend to the base
  • Vaginal lacerations - posteriorly placed (violence of forced penetration through narrow introitus)
  • Broad-based, painful gait
  • Posterior commissure rupture - may occur in young girls due to disproportion
  • Perineal tears (due to young age and narrow vaginal orifice - as seen in Fig 27.2 in Parikh's, depicting perineal tear in a 9-year-old)

Specimens Specifically Important in a 14-Year-Old:

  • Vaginal swabs (NOT cervical as in adults - cervix may not be easily accessible)
  • Hymenal swabs
  • Perianal swabs
  • Vaginal aspirate for spermatozoa
  • Blood for grouping and DNA

Note on Hymen in Adolescents:

  • The hymen at 14 is more elastic than in children but less distensible than in an adult woman
  • A recent (within 72 hours) tear is the most conclusive finding
  • Absence of hymenal injury does NOT rule out rape (the hymen may be fimbriated/elastic, or the offender may have inserted an object; ejaculation can occur between the labia)
(Parikh's Textbook, pp. 435-437 | Essentials of FM & Tox, 36th Ed.)

5. MARITAL RAPE

Definition under current Indian law:
"Sexual intercourse by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under fifteen years of age, is NOT rape." - Exception 2, Section 63 BNS (formerly Section 375 IPC)

Legal Position:

  • Under Exception 2 of Section 63 BNS, a husband cannot be charged with rape upon his wife if she is 15 years of age or above
  • However, Section 67, BNS (formerly S. 376B, IPC): A husband who has sexual intercourse with his wife who is living separately (under a decree of separation or otherwise), without her consent, shall be punished with imprisonment of not less than 2 years, extending to 7 years, and fine
  • Legally, consent to sexual intercourse is considered implicit in the contract of marriage (classical common law position)

Medicolegal Discussion (Parikh's):

  • The supposed marital exemption in rape is regarded as outdated
  • Marriage in modern times is a partnership of equals - the wife is no longer subordinate
  • A husband has NO right to enjoy his wife's body without regard to her safety, nor can he assist another man to commit rape upon her
  • Enlightened jurists regard rape as an aggravated form of assault; it is criminal to assault a wife regardless of marital status
  • Bobbittism (1993-94, Virginia, USA): In Bobbitt vs Bobbitt, the jury did not return a guilty verdict mainly because: (1) they were not legally separated, (2) Mrs Bobbitt did not scream/show signs of bruising

Supreme Court of India:

  • In Independent Thought vs Union of India (2017), the SC read down Exception 2 partially - marital rape of a wife aged 15-18 years was held to be an offence
  • The debate on criminalising marital rape for adult wives is ongoing in Indian courts
(Parikh's Textbook, pp. 432, 430 | Essentials of FM & Tox, 36th Ed.)

6. BURDEN OF PROOF IN ALLEGED RAPE

General Legal Principle:

  • In criminal law, the burden of proof rests on the prosecution ("innocent until proven guilty")
  • However, in rape cases, special provisions shift the burden partially to the accused

Section 114A, IEA (Indian Evidence Act) - THE KEY PROVISION:

"In prosecution for rape under Section 376 IPC (now Section 64 BNS), where sexual intercourse by the accused is proved and the question is whether it was without the consent of the woman alleged to have been raped, and she states in her evidence before the court that she did not consent, the court SHALL PRESUME that she did not consent."
  • This applies especially to cases of custodial rape and gang rape
  • The presumption is rebuttable - the accused may still lead evidence to disprove it
  • Effect: Once penetration is proved + woman says she did not consent, the court presumes rape; the accused must now prove consent

Medicolegal Significance:

  • Medical evidence (injuries, semen, hymenal tears) corroborates but does NOT substitute for the victim's testimony
  • The victim's statement is central to the trial
  • Medical evidence may either confirm or contradict the allegations
  • Even in the absence of physical signs of injury, rape can be legally proved
  • Locard's Principle of Exchange applies: there should be a transfer of trace evidence between victim and assailant

Important Points:

  • A trial of rape cannot be based on emotional reactions of any party (Wecht)
  • The delay in making a complaint must have a proper explanation (though courts have increasingly accepted delayed reporting in sexual assault)
  • Absence of injuries does NOT mean rape did not occur
  • Section 375 IPC (now Section 63 BNS): the definition itself provides that a woman who does not physically resist shall NOT be considered consenting on that ground alone
(Parikh's Textbook, pp. 430, 429)

8. SECTION 375 IPC (Full Analysis) / SECTION 63 BNS

(Already detailed under Definition above - key summary:)
  • Replaced "rape" with sexual assault incorporating acts beyond penile-vaginal penetration
  • Penile penetration + object insertion + manipulation + oral acts ALL constitute rape
  • Age of consent: 18 years - intercourse with a girl under 18, with or without her consent, is rape
  • Wife's age for marital exception: 15 years (wife above 15: not rape under Exception 2)
  • "Vagina" includes labia majora - even partial penetration of labia majora by penis = rape legally
  • Non-resistance ≠ consent

9. PUNISHMENT AS PER LAW
