Opinion On Rape Law-Justice Verma (Page 2)

ok i got it..

plzz i want them to be made impotent and such beasts should be first made impotent then they should be crushed under the wheel of that bus so that for generations they remeber the punishment and no one tries this ,,,,, 

In this case capital punishment is justified because the victim died. The cause is entirely the accused. He did what he did to get perverted pleasure and will be equated to pre meditated cruel cold calculative murder. True this capital punishment is lenient. But we being in a civilized society can not do any thing else like sodomising him and doing the same thing that he did to the poor victim.Yes capital punishment is the solution. In fact all the people involved including the driver should be hanged.

Thanks Payal for posting this topic.

I understand the rage against the rapists which I personally also feel, but we need to be practical when it comes to suggesting a punishment that can be added to the law. Public castration will not be acceptable in the judicial system and hence will not be taken seriously. This kind of petition asking for public opinion is our chance to voice ourselves and thus in turn make a desirable change in the law. I request all of you to please not waste your vote and suggest practical punishments for the culprit.

My opinion in the matter is that rape is not only a physical torture but it leaves a mental scar in the victims mind for her life. Its shameful that in spite of being at the receiving end the society still continues to passively harass the victim every day. Hence when the victim has to suffer all her life why should the culprit be given only a 10 year penalty? When the rapist did not show any mercy why should there be any room for him to be shown any mercy by the law? Him committing the crime is not only out of excessive sexual urges but also due to his perverted intentions which prompts him to commit rape not only to an older woman but in some cases to a minor too. This is criminal and cannot be controlled either by his 10 year imprisonment or making him impotent.

Hence in my opinion the death sentence without the room for any mercy petition, to such criminals is the closest justice that can be got for the victim given our democratic set up. Instilling fear in the minds of such potential rapists by increasing their punishment will help reduce the rate of such crimes.

I would also suggest that the culprits identity and crime be made public specially in his neighborhood so that he also faces public humiliation.

I wold also suggest that the identity of molesters and eve teasers be made public specially around their neighborhood so that the women can be at their guard.

A police constable should be present on all buses and trains during night and early morning hours.

I agree. Any man who assaults a woman verbally or physically should be publicly named and shamed. Posters should be put up in the locality where he lives - BEWARE! THIS MAN IS A MOLESTER - and a fine running into lakhs. Imagine if there is one such example in each neighbourhood how it will act as a deterrent to others. It will probably prompt parents to teach their boys that women are not objects, if only because of the fear of law.

Not just rape laws, laws against molestation need to be strengthened.

@payalibm: Thanks for posting this. If the volume of e-mails helps, then maybe we can even individually send mails to the Justice Verma Commission?

1. Any crime against a woman should be made into a non-bailable offense.
2. Agree with veekay that punishment for rape should be increased to a life-time without parole.
3. Punishment for molestation under Section 294 IPC should be at least a year and under Section 509 IPC at least three years.

Police also really need to be sensitised about dealing with such cases. It should be mandatory for them to undergo repeated training for this.

You know, laws can be changed but it's the implementation that matters. That's where we women can help by being aware of the law and by reporting every instance, whether with us or others, of molestation.  Here's a short synopsis of existing laws:

I agree that this kind of punishment has to be given. But i am not sure if indian gov will ever try to do this. So as the first step towards change atleast they should hang them in public. This is the least they can do.
