A minor (girl) was abused by a family member (brother) and the elders of the family (parents) did not help the minor who was abused ... can the minor (now a major) seek retribution against said family members?
Many countries have a duration within which such cases should be filed ... is there such a duration in India?
prabhakar advocate (advocate) 20 September 2016
The limitation period is equivalent to the term of imprisonment, can say safely seven years. But in this case, when the limitation period starts- Is it from the date of offence or from the date she became major. If she is filing a criminal complaint within seven years from the date she became major,the compaint is maintainable.
