Section 120 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 creates a rebuttable presumption regarding rape allegations. Which statement correctly describes this provision?

Section 120 of the BSA provides: "In a prosecution for an offence under section 64, section 65, section 66, section 67, section 68, section 69, section 70, section 71, section 74, section 75, section 76, section 77 or section 78 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, where the question of consent is in issue, the Court shall presume the absence of consent." This creates a  rebuttable presumption : unless the accused proves consent exists, the court presumes absence of consent. This addresses power imbalances in sexual assault cases. The presumption is not conclusive (the accused can rebut it by proving affirmative consent) but shifts the evidentiary burden to the accused—once the prosecution establishes the sexual act, the onus of proving consent falls on the accused.
