Necrophilia refers to an individual's attraction, whether sexual or asexual, towards deceased individuals. It is important to note that this behaviour is not considered a typical or conventional habit but rather classified as a paraphilic disorder. Drawing upon historical evidence and contextual inquiries, it may be argued that the presence of clutter is not only detrimental to the individual but also has negative implications for society as a whole. This phenomenon can portray an individual's heightened emotional arousal and captivation in dreams or actual instances of engaging in sexual activities with deceased people. The necrophile may derive pleasure from engaging in various activities with a deceased body, such as oral-genital contact, penile-vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse, or self-stimulation in the presence of a corpse. Psychological therapy, medications that decrease sex drive, and interventions aimed at enhancing social and sexual relationships can be beneficial in managing individuals with necrophilia. Necrophilia, also known as engaging in sexual activity with deceased individuals, is a behaviour that lacks comprehensive understanding within academic discourse. The phenomenon has also been observed in non-human organisms. The research conducted by multiple scholars and the analysis of past instances provide insights into the evolving perspectives of individuals with necrophiliac tendencies influenced by social, economic, and other contextual circumstances. However, the lack of a definitive resolution can be attributed to the absence of consensus across medical science and law fields. This article seeks to address the inquiry as to why there is a lack of stringent regulations pertaining to the aforementioned subject matter. This study aims to provide empirical insights into the phenomenon of necrophilia by examining its many typologies and etiopathology. Periodically, it becomes necessary to make modifications and draft new provisions. However, a lack of sufficient understanding and negligence towards this matter can lead to significant future consequences. As a result, the author has conducted a comprehensive examination of many elements and comparative legislations across different countries, employing a mixed-method approach. The author has employed quantitative techniques to provide potential remedies for enhancing the legal framework pertaining to necrophilia.
