B a married man commits sex with C a girl child of 16 years with her consent. What offence B has committed ?

  • A.Adultery
  • B.Rape
  • C.No offence
  • D.Sexual outraging

Answer: B

B has committed rape. Under the law as it stood in 2013, as amended in that year, sexual intercourse with a girl below eighteen is rape whether or not she consents, because a girl of sixteen cannot give a valid consent in law. It is not adultery, which concerns the wife of another man, and sexual outraging is not the offence for intercourse. “No offence” is wrong for the same reason, since her consent has no legal effect.
