Sources told Press Trust of India that the Law Commission held a meeting with the government and sought some information on the matter of age of consent.
Last year, the Delhi High Court had said that the intention behind the POCSO Act was to protect children from sexual exploitation and that it was never meant to criminalise consensual romantic relationships between young adults.
The court made the observation while granting bail to a boy who married a 17-year-old girl and was apprehended under the Act enacted in 2012.
The Law Commission, which is constituted every three years, advises government on complex legal issues.
The present Law Commission is headed by Justice (retired) Ritu Raj Awasthi.
