Rape is the most heinous offence committed on a woman. It is worse than a murder. The victim dies a thousand deaths, even when she is alive. Although it is not her fault, in every case of rape we have seen, without exception, the violated woman is discriminated against and made to feel as if it is she who is the criminal. In this, as well as many other instances of crimes committed against women, we have found woman's worst detractors, critics and enemies are usually other women.
Society looks upon the offenders with a kinder and more lenient eye.
Every woman dies within when she is raped. The British Courts have very recently held that if a husband forces himself upon his wife, against her will, he could be prosecuted against for marital rape. With her consent, when her consent has been obtained by putting her or any person in whom she is interested in fear of death or hurt. With her consent, when, at the time of giving such consent, by reason of unsoundness of mind or intoxication or the administration by him personally or through another of any stupefying or unwholesome substance, she is unable to understand the nature and consequences of that to which she gave consent.
