Govt decision to amend law of 'rape'
in Current Affairs & Latest News
In today's newspaper, Hindustan Hindi, there is a news that the government is going to redraft the section regarding rape so as to remove gender differentiation. Any misconduct of sexual nature with a woman, man or child will be considered sexual oppression. This is welcome change. When law is changed, the term 'rape' will no more be used in courts and rather 'sexual oppression' which would be common one will be used. What are the views of other members on this proposed amendment.

    The mindset of people may change. The definition of rape at present is very unsatisfactory. Even if a man has caused sexual abuse but has not penetrated her, this is not called rape. After change, any sort of sexually oriented conduct with a man, woman or child- even if there is no penetration, will be covered. Instead of rape, the new term will be 'sexual abuse'. Presently, a man cannot be raped. After change, even sexual abuse of a man or boy in any manner will be covered.

    The Government have come out with Draft amendment to penal provisions on rape. Now 'rape' is being renamed as 'sexual assault'. This will not be gender neutral as expected earlier. Only the definition of 'sexual assault' will be broader than 'rape'. Sexual assault will include besides forced sex, acts like inserting finger in a woman's mouth, or putting tongue in her mouth while kissing her. The proposed amendment is being circulated for getting public opinion.

    My view is that the definition should be gender free so that a woman could also be prosecuted for such offenses against other women or men. This is necessary in view of lesbianism and homosexuality. The women are also in dominating position and they may sexually exploit their juniors.

    Irrespective of whether penetration has occurred or not, the trauma that a victim experiences is no less equal than the actual act act of forced sex. hence this move is extremely welcome.

    The name is changed. Nothing else is changed. It is like misleading public.. Whether it is child or women, public consider it as rape only...

    A Welcome Move from the Govt. The Word Rape itself causes lot of bad impression on the victim.

    I think the proposed amendment is a welcome change and by changing the nomenclature of this kind of crimes the government is acknowledging the need to broaden this category beyond rape.

    I hope this is a good change if it is implemented in the correct way and the purpose of the law is achieved.

    That's right Meean, only thing that needs to be ensured is that it is not misused by people to spite someone or to avenge differences between people!
