Rape is a serious crime that involves nonconsensual sexual acts through unwanted touching, oral sex, anal sex, or vaginal penetration. The document discusses several cases of rape in India, including a 17-year-old boy who brutally raped a girl and her boyfriend, and only faced 3 years in prison due to his age. It also notes statistics about the prevalence of rape in India, such as 44% of rapes occurring before age 18, and only 16.3% of rapists serving jail time. While laws have been strengthened in India to address rape, issues still remain around marital rape not being illegal and protections not extending to transgender people.
