  Abstract


Abstract Rape is one of the most heinous crimes, attacking the dignity, autonomy, and humanity of women. Unlike murder, which extinguishes life, rape scars the victim's body and mind for life. The enactment of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS) has brought significant changes to India's rape laws, codifying provisions under Sections 63 to 73. This paper examines the statutory framework of rape under BNS, analyzing definitions, punishments, special categories such as gang rape and offences against minors, and rules for protecting victim identity. It further contextualizes these provisions with case law, from the Mathura Rape Case to the Nirbhaya case, and recent incidents such as the R.G. Kar Medical College rape and murder case (2024). The study concludes by highlighting challenges in implementation and suggesting reforms for ensuring justice and victim rehabilitation.
