Question

Repeatedly trying to foster interaction with a woman despite a clear indication of disinterest from her side, amounts to which of the following offence?

• A. Criminal Assault
• B. Outraging modesty of a woman
• C. Stalking
• D. Voyeurism

Hint:

Repeated unwanted contact or attempts to contact a woman despite clear disinterest is covered under stalking.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Stalking includes repeated unwanted contact, following, monitoring or attempting to contact a woman despite clear indication of disinterest.

Step 1: Understand the conduct given in the question.
The question says that a person repeatedly tries to interact with a woman even after she clearly shows disinterest. \[ \text{Repeated unwanted interaction} \Rightarrow \text{Harassing conduct} \]

Step 2: Match with stalking.
Stalking includes following a woman or contacting/attempting to contact her repeatedly despite her clear indication of disinterest. \[ \text{Clear disinterest + repeated contact} \Rightarrow \text{Stalking} \]

Step 3: Differentiate from other offences.
Voyeurism relates to watching or capturing images of a woman in private circumstances.
Outraging modesty and assault involve different elements. Therefore, the correct answer is Stalking.
