Kerala High Court has explained the difference between consensual sex and rape during the hearing of a case. The court has commented that if a woman welcomes the prospect of sex from her partner, only then can it be considered sex by mutual consent. Otherwise it would be classified as rape.
The Kerala police have rearrested a man who was granted bail a week ago after the Kerala High Court recalled the bail it granted to the accused who is charged with abduction, rape and murder of a 17-year-old girl from Ernakulam in January this year.
