Can RAW Packets be fragmented ?

hi all,

I went thru the code for ip_build_xmit code in net/ipv4
if the length of the packet is more than the mtu it just returns err.

Why cant we fragment the raw packets just like anyother ip datagram?

Is there any RFC that says RAW packets should not be fragmented?
