Indian Law on Medical Examination of Child Abuse Victims

Children related laws and issues are of great importance in any developing country. The legal rights of children in India, given their emotional, mental, psychological and physical status, mandates that they should be treated as a special category.  Indian law requires child abuse victims to be offered special medical treatment and care in such difficult situations. According to the basic tenets of juvenile justice, it is the state’s responsibility to care for the needs of children and juveniles. The state has to provide adequate infrastructure to support their developmental requirements as well.
