Why is a dedicated law on Non-Consensual Intimate Image Abuse (NCII) needed in India? Discuss.
Tips for your answer
- Start with the gap in existing laws – Briefly mention how IT Act, IPC/BNS, and DPDP Act address NCII only indirectly, making enforcement weak and fragmented.
- Highlight the unique harms of NCII – Go beyond privacy loss to include mental trauma, dignity, bodily autonomy, stigma, and targeting of women & transgender persons.
- End with future-ready reforms – Emphasize platform accountability, AI/deepfake regulation, victim-centric mechanisms, time-bound takedown, and police capacity building as reasons for a dedicated law.
