In a significant legal development, the Supreme Court of India has asked the Centre to consider introducing a “Romeo-Juliet clause” in the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act to exempt consensual, genuine adolescent relationships from criminal prosecution.
This move comes amidst concerns over the misuse of the Act where youthful relationships are sometimes treated as crimes due to strict statutory provisions.
In this video, we break down:
• What the Romeo-Juliet clause means and why it’s being discussed.
• How existing POCSO provisions treat adolescent consensual relationships.
• The Supreme Court’s rationale behind urging legal reform.
• The potential impact on teen rights, judicial process, and law enforcement if such a clause is enacted.
This topic is highly relevant for UPSC Prelims & Mains (GS Paper II/III) under Legal and Social Justice issues, as well as anyone interested in law reform and children’s rights.
