SC to review statutory age of consent for adolescents on Nov 12
The Daily Guardian
|September 25, 2025
The Supreme Court on Wednesday set November 12 to hear the issue over the statutory age of consent for adolescents, saying it would rather hear it in “continuity” than a “piecemeal” manner.

‘The matter came up for hearing before a bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and NV Anjaria.
“We would prefer if the matter starts and continues rather than having it in piecemeal,” the bench said.
The bench fixed the matter on November 12, saying it would have continuous days of hearing.
The Centre has defended the statutory age of consent of 18 years, saying the decision was a “deliberate, well-considered, and coherent” policy choice aimed at shielding minors from sexual exploitation.
