Concerned over misuse of Pocso Act, says SC
The New Indian Express Kottayam
|November 05, 2025
NOTING that the POCSO Act is being misused in cases of marital discord and consensual relationships between adolescents, the Supreme Court on Tuesday emphasised the need to spread awareness in boys and men about its legal provisions.
A bench of Justices BV Nagarathna and R Mahadevan was hearing a PIL seeking directions to sensitise people about the penal provisions for rape and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act to make the country a better place for girls and women.
"One thing, we would like to remark. POCSO Act is being misused in cases of marital discords and matters pertaining to consensual relationships between adolescents. We should spread awareness in boys and men about the legal provisions," the bench remarked.
