Debate Continues on Lowering India's Age of Consent

In India, there's a debate about whether the age when people can legally agree to have sex should be lowered from 18 to 16.

The government is against this idea, as they are worried it would lead to more trafficking and child abuse.

However, some people are concerned that strict laws might harm young people who are in consensual relationships.

Many countries have a lower age of consent, but there is an argument to create special rules that take different situations into consideration, such as the need for sex education to protect young people.
