<h1>Section 65: Strict Penalties for Rape of Minors Under 16; Includes Life Imprisonment or Death Penalty for Victims Under 12.</h1> Section 65 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, prescribes severe punishments for rape in specific cases. If the victim is under sixteen years of age, the perpetrator faces rigorous imprisonment for at least twenty years, potentially extending to life imprisonment, and a fine to cover the victim's medical and rehabilitation expenses. For victims under twelve, the punishment is similar but includes the possibility of the death penalty. Fines imposed must be reasonable and are directed to be paid to the victim to assist with medical and rehabilitation costs.
