Can a woman be prosecuted for gang rape ?
Answer: C
The key holds that a woman cannot be prosecuted for gang rape at all. Under section 376(2)(g) of the Penal Code as it stood, gang rape was committed by a group of persons acting in furtherance of a common intention, but the offence of rape itself is defined in section 375 as an act that only a man can commit, so a woman cannot be the principal offender or be deemed to have committed gang rape. The options saying occasionally, as the case demands, or when she is a party to it are not what the key accepts. The answer is not at all.
