<h1>Kidnapping or Maiming Children for Begging: Section 139 Enforces Strict Penalties, Including Life Imprisonment.</h1> Section 139 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, addresses the crime of kidnapping or maiming a child for begging. It mandates rigorous imprisonment of at least ten years, extendable to life, and fines for those who kidnap or unlawfully obtain custody of a child to use them for begging. Maiming a child for this purpose results in a minimum of twenty years' imprisonment, potentially extending to life imprisonment. The law presumes kidnapping if a non-guardian employs a child for begging unless proven otherwise. 'Begging' includes soliciting alms in public or private spaces and using a child as an exhibit for alms.
