Abstract

This paper examines the various legislations that have an impact on consent and choice in sexual relationships through the basis of age. It reviews constitutional and legal provisions, in addition to some judgments of the high courts and Supreme Court on age, consent and sexual autonomy, to indicate judicial reasoning that reflects social norms or addresses the right to autonomy.
