Intelligence doesn't mean he was capable of giving consent since he still was immature in how to function in the world.

Its not r*pe when a hot girl does it

Even if you are joking, please don't make statements like this. Because of these type of jokes sexual harassment on men isn't taken seriously by anyone.

Well, its for a professional to decide if a (depends on the case) mentally ill/challenged person can get married or have relationships. Plus, even if a man has mental retardation/ Asperger's/schizophrenic, they still have sexual needs, so...

Even a minor teenager has sexual needs. That doesn't mean he/she is capable of giving consent.

He was old enough to fall in love.. He was old enough to be jealous at the idea of Nisha marrying someone else.. he was old enough to confess his feelings in front of Nisha's parents... he was old enough to want a kiss from Nisha..

Even a 13 year old teenager is capable of doing all these things. Does that mean they can give consent to have sex with an adult?

His intelligence after being given the powers meant he was fully capable of understanding sex and consent too..

No.. Because a 13 year old isn't trusted to make his own decisions.. He does not know better.. R0hit did everything like an adult once he got his magical powers.. He traveled and worked like an adult. he knew the meaning of consent and sex.. He had the intellect and understanding to say no to anything objectionable

I believe its upto a professional to analyse if he person can be married/have relationships or not. It depends if the decision making component, understanding and reasoning is affected by the illness, and how far an individual can understand and vocalise their needs. He was definitely capable of making people understand his needs and understood if he was being abused as far as I can recall the movie.

Further proving that this series has deep social commentary going on.

No. Legally consensual sex is defined as between consenting adults of sound mind. That means.

- both parties are of legal age as determined by local laws

- neither party is intoxicated to the point that hinders decision making

- neither party is subject to duress or blackmail to engage in sex

- neither party has been medically defined as mentally incapable of giving consent

So if a psychiatrist said the person is incapable of giving consent, it is rape.

----------

Coming to TM's question, the movie does a poor job of defining his psychiatric condition. Most older movies tend to paint mental illnesses in broad strokes with very little nuance. Developmental disabilities may slow down a person's intellectual cognition, but do not always slow down the sexual, social, emotional development. Many are capable of desiring sexual/romantic relationships, dating, and engaging in intercourse.

So it would all depend on a medical diagnosis. It would also depend on whether Rohit was under Jadoo's influence or not when intercourse took place.

If two consenting adults had sex and one of them has a brain injury after the fact rendering them incapable of consent doesn't make the original act a crime.

Similarly, if Jadoo had made Rohit into a cognitively functional person when they had sex and then Rohit regresses when Jadoo goes home it is technically not rape. But lol good luck getting the alien argument to stand up in a court of law.

Bournvita pine walonko sab pata hota hai sex and all ke baare me.

It depends. If the individual is of biological age, these things are looked at by psychologists and lawyers. The role of the guardian is an important one. If the guardian gives consent, if the individual consents, and if the psychologists give a clean chit, the marriage/relationship can occur.

Despite the mental condition, physically, such individuals do have erections and/or sexual desires. Some are aware of it. Some, not so much. Depriving a physical adult of a sexual experience is another dodgy affair.

In KMG, Nisha was perfect for Rohit. His grandma would definitely consent. Rohit himself loved Nisha. So, it wouldn't be a big issue.
