Talk:Laws regarding rape

message: Given that there's already a page on rape reporting and the information on it here is both redundant and off-topic, I'm going to delete the section unless someone objects. --JaceCady 01:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: "Law" as a general subject includes the enforcement of law and the public perception of law; and the outcome of these. A comparison of rape reporting and conviction rates can be enlightening. Binksternet (talk) 03:51, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

text: Your global statement at the top of this thread is too broad to let stand. We cannot state categorically that "all entries concerning rape reporting and statistics" do not belong. Appropriate ones may belong, depending on context. Binksternet (talk) 14:26, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

text: Earlier, I would have asked how does this article not show how rape laws are enforced in different countries, but I see that a section on punishment was recently added. Without that section, I still feel that this article shows how rape laws are enforced. I mean, if it talks about the different rape laws in different countries, how is that not also talking about enforcement? I don't see a different article being needed. This article does need a bit more expansion to cover more counties, though. Flyer22 (talk) 01:32, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rape statistics and reporting  

message: Can I suggest that the redirects Rape (law) and Rape (crime) should point at this page instead of pointing at rape. I feel that to a substantial degree that article is as much as or more about the sociological/behavioural fact of forcible intercourse etc rather than than the law relating to rape.James500 (talk) 06:22, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redirects 

message: Been working on Issues of rape - rape culture - rape cases concerning India.
Noted omission of any reference to India. The issue is quite fascinating, and very large, with a number of issues dating back to 1860 - and on going amendment. 
It's a significant issue and needs to be included to address Systemic Bias.

thread_title:  Needs New Section sealing with rape laws in India. 

message: I changed the section so that it appropriately represents the content of the source (section title and including the full definition). I looked at the source because I found it odd that just immediately above it was stated that there was no federal law mentioning rape. Ismarc (talk) 04:49, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You also added some text while changing the title. I tweaked the text. Flyer22 (talk) 04:56, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I did, which is what I meant by including the full definition.  If you have a look at the source, "is guilty of rape and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct." is on its own line, independent of point 5, applying to all of the above points and "the perpetrator' doesn't appear anywhere.  Reviewing it again, it looks like each point is just slightly different than the source (likely due to when it was previously accessed).  I've updated the entire section to be a direct quotation of the cite as it appears at this time. Ismarc (talk) 05:28, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I see, and saw your tweaks. Thanks for fixing this and explaining. Flyer22 (talk) 05:31, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I originally didn't look at the start of that section to give the "is" part context. It's late here for me (where I currently live), currently 11:40 PM, so I'll blame that error of mine on the lateness (my eyes not being as fresh as they are otherwise).

thread_title:  Changed United States: Federal Law section 

message: This section is very unhelpful because, first of all, it does not cite the text of the law, so we can read what the definition of rape is. Secondly, the section is a detailed overview of all sexual offenses in the country - but this article is only about the criminal offense of rape. Some of the text may belong in other articles - such as laws regarding child sexual abuse, sexual harassment etc.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:2F0A:501F:FFFF:0:0:BC19:A3F3 (talk) 17:09, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Section on the Netherlands

message: "In early ancient Rome, ancient China, and other cultures, a pressure has existed which has led women to commit suicide after becoming victims of rape. The iconic Roman instance is that of Lucretia."
There is zero reason to believe that Lucretia committed suicide due to pressure or shame "of being raped". In fact, just about the entire Kingdom sympathized with her and avenged her. The main theme of that story is how humiliating the rape was and that she knew that, since it was the king's son, she couldn't do anything about it. So the shame was of the rape itself, not the fact that she was raped. And insinuating some kind of pressure on her is insane since everyone around her was so horrified by her suicide that they started a revolt.
