ABSTRACT

In India, there are different forms of crimes that occur day by day. One of the crimes which was happened in recent times is necrophilia against the dead person. But necrophilia is not considered an offence in India. Necrophilia is a highly controversial and disturbing topic involving a sexual attraction or fascination with corpses. It is considered taboo and illegal in many jurisdictions due to ethical, moral, and public health concerns. The subject has been studied from psychological, sociological, and legal perspectives, aiming to understand its underlying causes and implications for society. The practice is widely condemned due to its violation of consent, disrespect for the deceased, and potential harm to public health. This article discusses necrophilia and how it affects the rights of a deceased person and also about the laws of necrophilia in India and in other countries.
