A viral video of a Poland-based Indian woman trying to embrace an underage Polish boy has sparked a debate around cultural norms, boundaries, and legal consequences.
In the video, the woman, who Redditors claimed is Malayali, was seen trying to kiss the boy on his cheek repeatedly even as the boy was seen shying away from her.
As per unconfirmed reports, Polish authorities have accused and charged the woman for sexual harassment. Discussions erupted over whether her actions were an act of motherly affection, commonly seen in Indian culture.
Netizens react: ‘Their place, their laws’
Users on Reddit reacted to the video, with one calling her out for having a “white skin fetish” and displaying “dumbness”.
“Kissing random stranger boy? How dumb can someone be to post it online?”, a user wrote, with another saying, “Their place, their laws. How bloody hard it is to understand this?”
Another user wrote that such acts are normalised in India. “I think kissing underage children like below 7 age is quite a norm in India or maybe its just bunch of…adults extinguishing their lust on kids as they can’t complain”.
One user defended the woman, writing, “I don’t think there is any lust. It’s 99% of the time just extreme pure love. My grandma would kiss my cheeks with teary eyes everytime I went to my hometown.”
Recent cases of Indians accused of sexual violence abroad
Recent cases involving Indians accused of sexual violence abroad in 2025 include serious offenses with harsh legal consequences. One of the most notable is Sai Kumar Kurremula, a 31-year-old Indian national residing in the US, who was sentenced to 35 years in prison for sexually exploiting three minor victims and distributing child pornography, PTI had reported.
Kurremula deceived children by pretending to be a teenager on social media and blackmailed them with explicit content when they resisted his demands.
In the UK, Indian-origin brothers Vruj Patel and Kishan Patel were jailed for serious child sex offenses. Vruj Patel was sentenced to 22 years for multiple crimes including rape of a child under 13, sexual assault, possession of indecent images, and voyeurism, BBC reported.
His brother Kishan received a prison term for possession of child pornography. The case involved undercover police investigations, and authorities are appealing for more victims to come forward.
