Rape a “Criminal Act” or Social evil.



Dear Sir,

Rape is a criminal act according to the legal terminology and religiously.  Almost every religion disapproves the sexual intercourse on women without the religious rites and customs are being followed.  If an act of sexual intercourse has been carry out on a lady without her consent it is RAPE and in India it is punishable offence according to Indian Penal Code and the maximum punishment is seven years to life term.  In some cases death punishment has also been awarded which is executed on the criminal. 


Still men are committing rape on women, which is common crime on ladies after family harassment.  Undersigned surveyed and discussed near about 1000 women at least 95% told that they are being sexually harassed in any form; including; touching inappropriately, while speaking with them, slapping to them on her thighs, shoulders or hand, watching towards them with malicious dirty intention.   A common practice in public transport, standing behind a lady and touching inappropriately to her, which amounts to molestation.  In the survey at about 85% women told they are being harassed and faced mental agony while travelling to the public transport.  However, office going or daily shuttling women are used to with such practice so they never retaliate, or such types of cases never come to the public though such types of cases are also common.  Most of the office ladies are in hurry for catching public transport and wanted to reach office as early as possible or at least on time so they did not care to such types of things. 


Delhi may be the number one as far as sexual harassment on ladies is concerned.  Delhi had seen a gang rape on 16 December 2012 of a 23 years old Physiotherapy student who succumbed to her injuries.


Navi Pillay chief of UN Human Rights blame India, for heinous crimes because of lack of strengthen laws.  Law will not serve the purpose if devil captured the mind and soul of the particular he can commit any crime which defames the humanity.


Social Networking Media and environment played big role for increasing the number of sexual harassment cases on ladies.  Nowadays social media and networking is very common. Every seven members out of ten are using internet.  I am using the website of India Times News Paper; on the opening of the page some pornographic contents are displayed.  Article related to sex, photos showing man and woman involve in sex.  Such types of contents and articles certainly affect the mentality of the youths. 


Sex is the natural process as we require meal when we hungry in the same way we require the partner to relax the sexual desire.  But when it is committed after mutually agreeable terms by both the partners after marriage is legally correct and if it is committed without consent by either of the partner is illegal and punishable offense.  Now question arises can a woman rape a man?”  my answer is no never because Rape is unwilling act of sexual intercourse committed penis in vagina and it is specifically mentioned in dictionaries that rape is ‘any act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person’. Currently penetration is a necessary ingredient to charge a person with rape offence and most people believe it is not possible by a woman to commit this crime because of biological reasons.  In Indian Penal Code too nowhere is mentioned the punishment of rape by a lady and no punishment has been define in the legal term.  So far no court has been convicted a lady for committing rape on male.  


The new offence of rape in section 1(1) SOA 2003 includes oral and anal penetration with a penis. This is a change from the previous law which was only concerned with vaginal penetration and used other offences to criminalise these forms of sexual violence. The person who commits the offence of rape must be a man as the penetration has to be with a penis


Some sort dress also played the big role in committing such types of crimes on ladies.  Almost every big cities women used to put on semi nude dresses which attracts the opposite sex towards them and they start committing crimes even on the woman who dressed salwar kameez.


In India sexual assault is very common on ladies, harsh punishment is the solution, but one more thing is require, the other inmates of the rapist should be socially boycott and debarred from the society, they are not allowed to marry, purchasing and attended the social events.

Thanking you,
