What level do you teach??? It must be college if the student is older than you ... And what kind of rule is that??? Read 'Punished by Rewards' and learn some classroom management before setting unrealistic and ridiculous rules like having a student standing up in front of the class. Do you teach in the Soviet Union? And are you sure you are NOT the student, instead of a teacher, who is asking?

I have never heard of such a rule. Is the school a private institution? You might want to inspire confidence in the 'older' student by making the question easy at first and bring them up to speed latter with the class. Is the student slow in learning you did not say why you are apprehensive about the rule for this student.

You have to follow the same rules for everybody. If you treat anyone differently, then everyone will have the right to demand special treatment. (Obviously, if there is a handicap involved, you provide consideration for that.)
I would strongly suggest that you replace standing in front of the class as a punishment. Publicly embarrassing a person leads to resentment and hatred and learning only as an avoidance action.

What level do you teach at? I have never heard of a student being punished for not being able to answer a question....this could be a potentially embarrassing situation for the student and harm her psychologically then help her. How does this form of punishment have any benefits for the student?
I suggest a more positive solution, why don't you give your students points for answering questions this may make them more inclined to be better prepared for class. Don't just give them a little bit of points but make it to were it can drastically change their grade.
