Delhi High Court: Friendship Doesn't Equal Sexual Consent
Imagine a boy and girl are friends.
The Delhi High Court says that just because they are friends, the boy can't have sex with the girl without her saying it's okay.
It's like borrowing a toy - you need permission first!
The court also said if the girl is a kid, even if she agrees, it's not allowed.
The main idea is that it's against the law to have sex with someone if they don't agree, especially if they're underage.
Delhi High Court states friendship doesn't grant sexual consent.
The court ruled sex without consent is unlawful.
The case involves a minor.
The court's order was issued on July 24.
The ruling emphasizes consent is essential.
