Details

Two or more persons are said to consent when they agree upon the same thing in the same sense.

[See section 13, the Contract Act, 1872 (Act No. IX of 1872)].

A consent is not such a consent as is intended by any section of this Code, if the consent is given by a person under fear of injury, or under a misconception of fact, and if the person doing the act knows, or has reason to believe, that the consent was given in consequence of such fear or misconception; or if the consent is given by a person who, from unsoundness of mind, or intoxication, is unable to understand the nature and consequence of that to which he gives his consent; or unless the contrary appears from the context, if the consent is given by a person who is under twelve years of age.

[See section 90, the Penal Code,1860 (Act No. XLV of 1860)].
