There is one and only one reason why women are never punished for committing rape in India:
FEMINISM

NEW DELHI: "Gender just, gender sensitive and not gender neutral rape laws," is what women's groups, human rights groups and activists are demanding. The appeal gains significance as it comes at a time when the 2013 Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance and the report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee are set to come up for debate in Parliament.
The women's groups and human rights bodies want "all parties aligned with women's rights to ensure that laws made in the wake of the brutal Delhi gang-rape case do not leave women even more vulnerable than they already are".
"The report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on the 2012 Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill as well as the 2013 Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance not only violates the letter and spirit of the Justice Verma Committee (JVC) recommendations but endangers and deepens women's vulnerability in this country," said representatives of women's groups preparing to raise the issue nationwide to create awareness on the lacunae in the law.
On the International Women's Day, to be observed on Friday, activists from voluntary organizations like Jagori, Saheli, Nirantar, Women Against Sexual Violence, Lawyers Collective, State Repression Forum Against Oppression of Women, Mumbai; and Madhya Pradesh Mahila Manch, Indore propose to raise the issue in one voice. Several legal luminaries are also expected to join the chorus.
