LYou asked what problem Iâm trying to solve:
The problem is that even with existing laws, child rape survivors donât reliably get justice. rapes still go unpunished for years, trials are delayed, and rapists walk free or get bail. Thatâs not a âlaw existsâ issueâitâs a lack of implementation, consistency, and political will.You asked why Iâm spending my effort here:
Because I believe public pressure, policy reform, and legal accountability are interconnected. Pushing for death penalty in specific, DNA-confirmed cases is a way to push the system to wake up. This isnât about ignoring other solutionsâitâs about demanding stronger consequences where we already have hard proof.You assumed I want validation.
If I wanted validation, I wouldnât post in a subreddit full of defeatists clinging to pseudo-intellectual superiority. I posted because I thought people here might help with legal stepsânot throw around recycled doubt and passive cynicism pretending to be insight.So no, Iâm not looking for applause. Iâm looking for impact.
And if that makes me ânaive,â Iâd rather be naive and trying than jaded and sitting still.LIf I were set on my stance, I wouldnât have asked how to file a PIL or whether itâs even realistic.
People looking for arguments donât ask questionsâthey make declarations. I came here genuinely curious.
What I got instead was a parade of empty repliesâpeople mistaking tired cynicism for intelligence and serving recycled hopelessness like itâs insight. Not one of you offered a real solutionâjust excuses in better grammar.L“Read some papers, manâ? Cute. Iâve read enough to know this: data doesnât feel fear, but rapists do when the system actually works.Youâre rightâdeath penalty alone wonât fix everything. But the âcriminals will now kill the victim to avoid death penaltyâ argument is a tired take that assumes every rapist is a criminal mastermind calculating legal consequences mid-crime. Most of them assault children in their own homes, in villages, or while drunk with power. Letâs not pretend theyâre all Hannibal Lecter.
Alsoâif you genuinely think the emotional rage of a society watching toddlers being raped is irrational, then maybe youâve intellectualized your humanity out of the equation. Logic doesnât cancel out justice. It should serve it.
CCTV is cute. So are your links. But justice needs teeth, not just surveillance.
L“Why propose one more law?”
Because when a system fails to protect its most vulnerableâeven when there’s hard proof like DNAâthen yes, we need to propose bolder laws that demand accountability and force better enforcement.Youâre assuming the death penalty is just âone more law.â Itâs not. Itâs a statement of zero tolerance. It creates public pressure, forces faster trials, and signals that the state actually gives a damn when children are raped.
And about people not committing rape because âitâs wrongââI wish we lived in that world. But we donât. Ask the survivors. Ask the kids.
Rapists exist because they think they can get away with it. And often, they do.Also, bringing up prostitution laws in a conversation about child rape or violent sexual assault is a bit of a derail. Legalizing prostitution is a completely different debateâitâs about consensual sex work, not about violent crimes where consent is nonexistent.
Trying to apply that logic here oversimplifies the issue and honestly misses the point.LSure, DNA canât lie, but yes, humans can be corrupt. Iâm not pretending Indiaâs system is clean. Thatâs exactly why Iâm pushing for laws with strict forensic protocols and independent oversight.But letâs be realâif âthe system is corruptâ is your full-time argument, youâre basically saying âletâs do nothing because everything sucks.â Thatâs not insight, thatâs surrender.
I get that Reddit loves a good dose of pessimismâalmost like it’s a hobby here. But some of us still think change is possible. Wild, I know
L100% agree that poor enforcement is a massive part of the problem. But I think the issue isnât just that laws exist, itâs that theyâre rarely enforced with speed or impact. People know rapists often walk free or get bail. Even in cases where DNA evidence is solid, justice takes yearsâor doesnât come at all. So yeah, the law might be there, but if it’s barely ever used, how is it serving as a deterrent?Is this enough? â Not at all. Iâm not saying the death penalty will magically stop rape. Thatâs too simplistic. Real prevention means sex ed, awareness, better policing, quicker trials, and a shift in how society sees women and children.
But I also believe that when something as brutal as child rape happensâand there’s concrete proofâjustice should be immediate and irreversible. Itâs about sending a clear message that there’s zero tolerance, no loopholes, no second chances.LI’m an MLA, what do I do now?
But I feel, people led movements have more power than individual MLA led pilLI’m only talking about cases where culpable dna evidence is present, so how is there an error in judgement?And I’m asking for mandatory death penalty in not so extreme rape cases too
LDrop this area? I’ve read about the punishments for these crimes which is what led me to post this.PIL which is already present? Multiple people can file PILs for the same issue…
Are you a lawyer?
LHow to define “extreme” ? Who decides thatAs we know this verdict is very rare
But in cases where enough evidence is present, can we make a law where the death penalty is given?
