Question

In kidnapping, the consent of minor is:

• A. wholly immaterial
• B. partly immaterial
• C. wholly material
• D. partly material

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Legal definition.
Kidnapping under Section 361 IPC involves taking a minor from lawful guardianship.
Step 2: Relevance of consent.
Consent of the minor is immaterial; only the guardian’s consent is relevant.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, option (a) wholly immaterial is correct.
