EWomen who are actual victims are already afraid to pursue such cases legally. Even when they do, they get pressured by various means to withdraw their cases.
Having big penalties means it will be a deterrant for them to file a case.
There should be punishments especially for those cases where its obvious its a fake.-
N“Having big penalties means it will be a deterrant for them to file a case.” – That’s a fair viewpoint.

AYou’re absolutely right!
Read this article, it’s about the “not r@pe” case. Look at the sheer pressure they are facing – financial, societal , legal. They continue to fight, many others stop fighting all together. What happens when the more powerful aggressor decides to accuse them of filing a false case?

(An actual lawyer can verify, that would be best), because ai chat tells me about ipc 209 and 211 ( don’t know bns).

KThe problem will be demonstrating a case is false or fake. A case might fail to achieve a conviction for any number of reasons, not limited to police and prosecution incompetence. How do we separate those from the ones maliciously made. Empower the police to investigate victims every time a case fails? That’s just rewarding the cops for their own incompetence. Do we just assume every case is false? Its hard enough for people to file cases already. Encouraging the cops to treat a victim as a liar is just giving them more weapons to do nothing.

DThis is a tricky issue.
On one hand, false accusations can ruin lives, and there should absolutely be consequences for that. But making the punishment as severe as the crime itself could backfire, especially in a society like ours where many victims already hesitate to speak up.India still has a long way to go in terms of development, and many people—especially women—are fighting against societal pressure and stigma to even file genuine cases. If the fear of being labeled a “false accuser” is too strong, real victims might stay silent, which is the last thing we want.
Instead of directly comparing with laws from developed countries, we need solutions that fit our society. Maybe stricter checks during investigations and fair penalties for proven false claims would help
Also reducing corruption.
India’s society is mixed T1 city’s people are different from T2 and T3
you can’t put up laws looking at a few cases

SNo. They should be up there with fraud. Those crimes are heinous, but there’s no comparison. Besides, how do you prove it is false? Many rape accusations are passed off as false because they don’t have solid proof, but how many people record their sexual encounters to have proof later on? Abuse doesn’t have to leave marks. We dont want to criminalize people making legit accusations because a few are weaponizing it. Put more pressure on your fellow men to not behave like this and the laws wouldn’t be how they are. But if false accusations can be PROVEN, there should absolutely be civil penalties.
