Abduction vs Kidnapping under IPC

criminal general beginner mcq_help

Kuch confusion hai abhi bhi, abduction kya hai? Aur kidnapping kya hai? Let's see example: Papa ne mujhe ek movie dekhne ke liye college se le jaaya, par maine nahin mana. To isse abduction kya kehenge? Aur agar police ne mujhe bina papa ke chutti mein liya hua hoga toh?

Question: A father takes his daughter to a holiday destination without her consent. This act comes under which section of IPC?

A) 361 IPC (kidnapping from lawful guardianship) B) 365 IPC (kidnapping for ransom or with the intent to be married) C) 368 IPC (wrongful confinement for three or more days) D) 379 IPC (theft)

My own wrong answer: C) 368 IPC

Please help me out.

// Additional Info Abduction vs Kidnapping under IPC: These two terms often confuse people. Abduction under Section 361 IPC refers to the removal of a child from its parent's control without their consent. Kidnapping under Section 364 IPC involves taking someone away against their will, often by force or intimidation. Key difference: Kidnapping involves more severe circumstances, with a focus on the use of force or coercion. Abduction is a broader concept, which includes cases not involving force or coercion.
