A child below the age of ______, who commits a crime, is not held morally or criminally responsible for that act.
5
7
10
12
14
- The law is pretty clear on this: a child below 7 years old who commits a crime isn’t held criminally or morally responsible. That’s because kids that young are considered unable to understand right from wrong.
- Here’s how the options stack up:
- 1, 5: These ages are too low. The legal system usually doesn’t set the age of criminal responsibility at 1 or 5 years old.
- 7: This is the correct answer. Under IPC Section 82 in India, for example, a child under 7 years cannot be held responsible for a crime.
- 10: Not correct. Kids aged 7–12 are still treated differently, but kids under 10 can sometimes be liable if maturity is proven.
- 12 and 14: Not correct. Children above 7 (and especially above 12) can sometimes be held responsible, depending on maturity and the circumstances.
So, the right pick here is Option:2, 7.
