The National Justice Oversight Board ordered the Minas Gerais Court of Justice and Judge Magid Nauef Láuar to provide explanations within five days regarding the decision acquitting a 35-year-old man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl in 2024. The acquittal, issued by the TJMG's 9th Specialized Criminal Chamber, sparked negative backlash and criticism from politicians and experts. The Minas Gerais Prosecutor's Office plans to appeal the ruling.
Rajasthan officials, with help from NGO Gayatri Seva Sansthan, prevented 13 child marriages set for Akshaya Tritiya across three districts. Nine cases were stopped in Udaipur, and two each in Pratapgarh and Sikar. The Child Welfare Committee acting chairperson said prompt action followed tips from the NGO.

Regeringen har föreslagit att sänka straffbarhetsåldern till 13 år trots tidigare kritik, men Lagrådet avstyrker nu kraftigt förslaget. Enligt Lagrådet riskerar det att öka ungdomsbrottsligheten istället för att minska den och strider mot barnkonventionen. Justitieminister Gunnar Strömmer försvarar behovet av reform men lovar att granska yttrandet.
