Overall, there is an urgent need to amend certain laws to prevent people between the ages of 12 and 18 from falling through the cracks. We will never mature as a society until we can agree on the appropriate age at which we are truly growing up. If you`re between the ages of 12 and 15 and you`re very worried about kissing another teenager, that`s fine! These feelings are completely normal and there is no pressure to have your first kiss. Kiss someone when you feel ready and love the person. When it`s time to kiss him, bend 90% of the way and let the other person meet you the rest of the way. Behave normally after the kiss! Everyone needs to have their first kiss at some point so you don`t have to think about it too much. Interestingly, while the Delhi Supreme Court decriminalized homosexuality, it set the age of consent at 18 until other laws are passed. And since the decision referred to “non-vaginal penile sex” – something that is not limited to homosexual sex – there are now two legal age limits that must be exceeded if you want to legally have sex with a woman: one at 16 (under Article 375) and another at 18 (under Article 377)! Who decides the age of adulthood – law, society, state or biological factors? In India, we have a different adulthood for different things. One is mature enough to make decisions about voting at 18; Drive with 16 (vehicles without gear) or 18 (motor vehicles); drink at 18, 21, 23, 25 (different states have set different ages); at the age of 21; Work at 14; and marry at 18 (for girls) and at 21 for (boys). The first law we had on this subject was the Majority Act of 1875, which set the age of majority at 18 (amended in 1999). The Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1929, commonly known as the Sarda Act, set the age of marriage at 14 for girls and 18 for boys.
This number was increased in 1978 to 18 and 21 respectively for girls and boys. This has now been repealed and replaced by the 2006 ban on child marriage. Article 16 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) deals with marriage and the family. It states that child marriage should have no legal effect. India signed CEDAW in 1980, but child marriages are treated only as objectionable and not void. Thus, until a child bride requests the annulment of her marriage, the marriage is considered perfectly valid. The husband has the right to consummate his marriage because the Indian Penal Code does not recognize marital rape. In 2017, that changed after the Supreme Court overturned its decision in Independent Thought v.
The Union of India waived the exemption from Article 375, which allowed men to solemnize marriages with their wives between the ages of 15 and 18. Nevertheless, it is unfortunate that Indian wives do not have the freedom to exercise the option of consent. Before the age of 18, the law does not allow her to have sex, even if she is legally married, and beyond 18, she cannot say no because there is a presumption of marital consent.

The age of consent is defined as the age at which a person is considered legally entitled to consent to sexual acts. Because of their immaturity of age and understanding, minors are considered incapable of understanding the nature and consequences of their actions. Thus, the law prohibits any sexual activity with or between children under a certain age. § 294, the Penal Code speaks only of the obscene act, but it has nowhere listed the obscene acts.
So the meaning of obscenity is still unclear. Before marking the kiss in public as obscene or confusing the public about its obscenity, one must study the legal provision in depth. Oral hearsay evidence cannot form the basis of all complaints. The law should never be a weapon in the hands of public authorities to harass the ordinary masses, but to alert them to its non-compliance. According to recent decisions, kissing in itself is not an obscene act. In the higher levels of justice in India, kissing in public is generally not treated as an illegal act. Judgments refer to it as an expression and compassion of love, an act that conveys the message of protection and security. But it should be borne in mind that if you do not specify these cases, any kiss will be treated as sexual expression and will be obscene.

But if you take a little time to prepare and make sure you and your crush feel ready, you can make it a fun and romantic experience for both of you. If you think you might have the opportunity to kiss someone, brush your teeth ahead of time, use mouthwash, or eat a mint to keep your breath nice and fresh. When your lips are dry, apply a little lip balm to make them soft. Look for an opportunity to spend some private time with your crush and wait until you both feel comfortable and relaxed. If you`re not sure if they`re interested in kissing you, first flirt with them a little and pay attention to how they react. For example, you might say something like, “I love being with you” or “You`re so beautiful right now.” If they smile and make eye contact, get closer to you, or flirt back, they might be there. To be sure, you can always say something like, “Is it okay if I kiss you?” When you`re ready to move, bend over and move your mouth closer to theirs. Close your eyes when you move and tilt your head a little to the side so as not to hit your nose. If your face is about 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from theirs, stop and wait for it to respond.

Keep it simple for your first kiss and lightly press your lips on hers for 2 to 5 seconds. Avoid using your tongue or applying a lot of pressure. When you`re done, walk away carefully. If they seem nervous, say something like, “Wow, that was amazing” or “You`re a good kisser.” You can also ask if you can kiss her again. If things seem a little awkward after your kiss, don`t worry, it`s completely normal.
