  • Abstract:
  • The Parliament of India have recently passed a legislation which extends the new definitions of various offences in the text of criminal law. The legislation passed defining the offence of rape as vaginal or anal penetration of women, but did not define any kind of penetration of men. This may have been the intent of the legislature, as women are one of the most vulnerable groups within society. This article will analyze the new legislation, and considers that anal penetration of men should have also been considered on the basis of incidences of male rapes, international human rights law, as well as that there should also be a law before Parliament which relates to the anal penetration of men. The article also argues that the legislature should have also considered that this case of penetration or any other kind of sexual offence like sexual assault, sexual harassment involved a male victim who is also from one of the most vulnerable groups.
