There is a clear contradiction in the law.Once again a sign that some laws have not developed properly and are biased.A 15yr old generally will not know the right thing to do, and their decision should not be taken as valid in these critical matters.It's a question of social development and human lives.A pregnancy at that stage also leads to hindrance of the minor's progress, let alone national progress. It's a statutory rape, and the Delhi High court is clearly making a fool of itself in the eyes of humane community. I'm sorry to say that once again we have a situation where the weak, in this case the young minor girls are taken advantage of by people that are dutybound to protect and guide them to more ambitious aims leading to more productive life.We need progressive people, not destructive ones that keep plucking fruits before true maturity is onset. We need to elliminate people who find excuses to wantonly exploit citizens and who use the law to selfish ends.India is in critical & trying times and we need current, responsible laws with tough enforcement.No excuses required.
