HC on Consent for Sex: Semi-Conscious Woman Cannot Give Consent for Sexual Act, Says Kerala High Court; Refuses Anticipatory Bail to Rape Accused

The Kerala High Court has denied anticipatory bail to a rape accused, stating that a woman in a semi-conscious state cannot provide valid consent for the sexual act. Reportedly, the appellant had argued that he and the complainant were in a relationship, while the prosecution alleged he had given her a toxic liquid, rendering her semi-conscious. The court emphasised that even a cordial relationship does not negate the possibility of sexual abuse, thus rejecting the appellant's plea for anticipatory bail. Doctor Can’t Treat Without Touching Patient: Kerala High Court Denies Bail To Man Who Slapped Doctor While He Was Treating His Wife.
