<h1>Section 38: Right to Private Defence Allows Harm to Assailant Under Threat of Death, Rape, or Kidnapping</h1> The right of private defence of the body, as outlined in Section 38 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, permits causing death or harm to an assailant under specific conditions. This right applies if the assault reasonably causes fear of death, grievous hurt, or involves intentions of committing rape, gratifying unnatural lust, kidnapping, wrongful confinement, or acts like acid attacks that could lead to grievous hurt. These provisions are subject to restrictions specified in Section 37, ensuring that the exercise of this right is justified by the nature of the threat posed by the assailant.
