The Tarun Tejpal judgment of Bombay High Court at Goa creates an opportunity to discuss fundamental questions about sexual autonomy, consent, context and the direction of modern rape jurisprudence.

In this episode, we examine:

• How the judgment treated allegations concerning the complainant’s sexual conduct and character.
• Why sexual history should not be confused with consent, while female sexual agency remains an important part of the discussion.
• The transformation of rape law from the traditional “property” conception to the modern principle of bodily autonomy.
• Whether the female body has effectively become a form of “self-managed property.”
• The difficult question of proportionality when legal redemption for one person may result in the destruction of another.
• Whether modern rape jurisprudence gives sufficient importance to context and individual agency.
• The relationship between consent, punishment, justice and proportionality.
• Whether contemporary rape jurisprudence can protect bodily autonomy without losing sight of the broader consequences of criminal punishment.
