Kidnapping from Lawful Guardian

According to section 361, if a person takes away or entices a minor (i.e., a boy under the age of 16 years and a girl under the age of 18 years) or a person of unsound mind, away from his/her lawful guardian without the guardian’s consent, then that person commits the offence of kidnapping from lawful guardianship.
Illustration:
‘X’ is a boy of 13 years of age, living under the lawful guardianship of his mother, ‘Y’. ‘Z’ ‘convinces him to accompany him to his house against the consent of his mother. According to Section 361, ‘Z’ has committed the offence of Kidnapping from lawful guardianship. 
This section also mentions an exception. It says that it does not result in the crime of kidnapping from lawful guardianship, if the person in good faith, i.e., honestly with reason, believes that:
1. He is entitled to the lawful custody of the child; or
2. He is the father of an illegitimate child.
