Offences Against the Human Body
Importing into India a girl under 21 or boy under 18 from abroad, intending or knowing they'll likely be forced/seduced into illicit intercourse with another, is punished with up to 10 years' imprisonment plus fine.
This targets international trafficking specifically into India for sexual exploitation, with notably different age thresholds for girls (under 21) and boys (under 18) reflecting the provision's historical drafting.
Someone who brings a young person into India from another country specifically for sexual exploitation purposes commits this specific cross-border trafficking offence.
