Consent exception limits: consent cannot validate offences independent of harm, so acts like causing miscarriage remain punishable. Exceptions in sections 25-27 do not apply to acts that are offences independently of any harm they may cause or be intended to cause to the consenting person; consent cannot justify conduct criminal in its nature. Causing a miscarriage remains an independent offence except when done in good faith to save the woman's life, and consent by the woman or her guardian does not legalize the act.
