'Keeping private part above vagina, ejaculating without penetration isn't rape': Chhattisgarh HC reclassifies rape conviction | - The Times of India

News News: Ejaculation without penetration constitutes an attempt to commit rape and not actual rape, the Chhattisgarh high court observed in a significant judgment on February 16. The rape survivor, in one part of her evidence, stated that there was penetration, but in the subsequent line, said that the convict had kept his private part above her vagina for about 10 minutes. This discrepancy, coupled with medical findings of an intact hymen, showed that only an attempt with intent to commit rape had been proved, the court noted.
