Bizarre Panchayat Judgement

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

A man(uncle) rapes a minor. She approaches panchayat for justice. Panchayat finds accused man gulity of raping the minorĀ  and they decide not to report to police but themselves punish the man.

What is punishment given to the man?. Well he is slapped five time with shoes of face!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes you heard it right. 5 slaps for raping a woman.

When minor’s mother approached police , police registered the case and arrested the man.

This is not first time such a bizaare judgement was passed by panchayat. Few months back a couple of seven years were asked to live as brother and sisters since both belonged to same clan!!!!!!!!.

They have a child whose custody was given to mother and child’s father was asked to deposit 5 lakhs for well being of child.

Now couple had married legally as per Indian Laws which doesnot prohibit marriage in same gothras but panchayat felt other wise and announce the decision.

Its high time our government does take notice about such bizzare decision which are against constitution of India.

Law Against Honor Killing Soon?

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Home minister of India , Mr Chidambaram in question hours session said that honor killing soon would be put into different category of crimes.

Honor Killing is one of worst form of crimes which are committed in India , every year where families or panchayats murder couple or rape women in name of justice!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of social evils which can shame even the most backward countries of the world but it still prevails in name of age old system/parampara/culture

Some of the cases are as mentioned below:

1) A couple belonging to same gothra marry. Panchayat declares marriage illegal . To save their lives couple run away from the village.

Months later family of girl , emotionally persuade her to come to meet them. She falls into the trap and go to her family. She goes missing. The husband feared that she has been killed and files police complain. Police along with husband enters the village , where villagers attack the man and kills him. Even police men get injured in the incident.

2) A Muslim woman marries Hindu man in kashmir. Both of them are murdered by woman’s family in name of honor.

3) Nineteen-year-old Poonam was thrown into a canal by her Jat relatives in January this year, for marrying a Dalit boy.Poonam was rescued though.

The above mentioned are few of cases which happen in India. In name of honor the very family turns worst form of enemies. Slaughtering their own kins, even raping girls .

This needs to be dealt as separate issue rather than including in category of murders and rapes.

We welcome home minister’s statement in loksabha today.

Lover Sells His Girl Friend For 25,000 Rs

Monday, March 1st, 2010

A tragic , in human , shocking case has come to light. Published in gujarat daily the case is of a girl who one mistake spoiled her life. Mistake of trusting the person she loved.

Four years ago a nisha (name changed to protect identity) ran away with her lover. Lover had promised her that he would get married. The girl falled prey to this promise and ran away from her house. The lover of the girl took her to different places of his relatives and for two months repetitively raped her.

Then he along with another girl sold nisha for mere 25000 Rs to a couple. The couple within a week sold nisha to another man for mere 50,000 Rs!!!!!!!

The man took her to his house and married with her forcefully. He repetitively raped her and kept her as captive. Nisha became pregnant and has 1.5 year old son too out of this marriage which her husband had purchased for 50,000 Rs!!!!!!

The husband used to torture her and treat her as animal. Nisha finally ran away and managed to reach her home.

Irony of the story is that her dad expired and nisha could not see him before he died. Nisha’s dad had filed complain but police didn’t take matter seriously.

Such cases are not isolated ones but quite in number. Its easy to blame the girl for her mistake but we as society too are directly/indirectly responsible for such incidents.

I dont understand this running away concept. But at same time i believe that lack of communicative enivornment in the family leads to such occurance. Every parents love their offsprings . Every parents want better life for their offsprings but there is some communication gap. The enivornment should be such that girl or boy can put their point of view without fear and discuss things out.

Its tragedy that a father died without seeing her daughter , knowing her where abouts . How painful it might have been for a father. May his soul rest in peace.

Talking about nisha. How horrfying this four years might have been for her?. Would she be able to trust anyone again?. What about the child?. What is his fault?

Sad tragic and shameful incident.

Rape : The Worst Crime

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Here are brief experience of two ladies who went through this horrifying thing called rape :

Victim -1 ONE WARM AND SUNNY AUGUST AFTERNOON, I was raped. In a deserted area behind alarge shopping mall, my attacker shackled my hands behind my back, pushed me into his car and raped me. Like nine out of 10 rape victims, I didn’t report the assault. Instead, I went home and scrubbed the skin off my body where he had touched me. Days later I could still feel his hands on me, a lingering and terrifying sensation. Crawling into bed, I pulled the sheet over my head. I stayed there for eight months, traumatized, bedridden and thinking of killing myself.

Victim-2 It has really affected my husband’s and mines sex life. I just don’t know what is wrong, he keeps thinking it is him but it’s not him I just feel totally violated after what had happened to me. I wish a thousand times that I had told someone and put that rapist where he needs to be, but I was scared of what people would have thought of me. It has really been tough for me over the past few years, but my husband and my little 10 month old daughter make things a lot easier these days.

Rape is not just another crime whose victim do get settled down with time. Rape affects the victime pyshics for ever and its really tough on them.

Rapist in their desire of statisfying sexual needs do actually live scares on victims for ever.

India is vast country with population of more than 100 crores. We do hear case of murder , robbery , bulgary , assault , rape.

Three news did shock the nation in recent time. First was news of mumbai business man who raped his own daughter for 9 long years on advice of taantrik for better materialistic gains!!!

Then came another news from punjab where similar type of news was reported this time involving a bjp politician who used to rape his own daughter.

Then three days back an american student studying in tata institute of social science was gang raped by 6 students.

Rape is perhaps the worst crime possible. It is perhaps as serious as murder because its murder of self respect of a lady and the kind of trauma , humilation she goes through is unimaginable.

Why do man rape?

I always wonder why do man rape?.I mean how can some one be so animal like?…This is what research psychologist of psychology today has to tell about type of rapists :

* Type 1 is influenced by deviant sexual arousal, which occurs when he has thoughts of violence against women. This type is likely to be extremely impulsive.
* Type 2 is motivated by cognitive distortions, or thinking errors; he mistakenly interprets events or information differently than other men would. He believes that some women enjoy being raped, or want to be raped. For this type, rape is part of a conquest, a way of demonstrating masculinity. Most date rapists are Type 2s.
* Type 3, is motivated by anger or emotional discontrol. These men are so angry, especially at women, that the only way for them to deal with their anger is to act out sexually toward women. Not surprisingly, this type is the most violent and most dangerous.
* Type 4 is the repeat offender. He is most likely to have been physically or sexually abused as a child. He has difficulty establishing enduring relationships, and a history of chronic problems in schools or in his family. Type 4 men break a variety of rules, both sexual and nonsexual.

Now which category does the dads of those two girls fall into?. The mumbai gang rapists probably fall into type 2.

What ever the category , they all actually do fall into inhumans. They spoil lives and it takes years and years for victim to come out of it.

It is worst crime possible . In murder person looses its life , in rape person looses faith on opposite gender , feels helpless , feels fear , has difficulty in having normal life , looses self esteem and looses lot of other things.

Laws against rape must be made tougher to ensure that atleast victims gets some consolation.

MMS : Latest Weapon Of Rapists

Monday, March 1st, 2010

3 people were arrested few months from meera road , mumbai today on complain of a 19 year old girl. They had gang raped her on 14th may 2009 . The total people involved in rape were 7 , out of which 3 were arrested. Police is looking for 4 others.

Now if you wonder why did the girl who was raped on 14th didnt complain earlier. Reason was that she was threatened . Rapist had taken mms of the rape .

Surat rapist had done similar thing , when they did make movie of the rape scene. This mms is soon becoming weapon for rapist where they rape and take mms and girl because of fear avoids complaining.

Already our social system is such that often rape victim is viewed as being actual culprit. We have only 27% conversion rate in case of rape. Often rape victim gets raped thrice. Once actually , second time by eyes of people and third time in court where defense lawyer tries to prove rape as consentual sex.

If these was not enough now rapist have this mobile phone using which they can make clip and threaten to make it public.

We as society need to change attitude towards rape and also teach girls art of self defense to avoid such incidents.

I pray to god to give this girl strengh to recover from the trauma which she might have gone through.
