STARTING YOUNG...........

India's child rapists certainly seem to be defying all the laid down norms pertaining to the male species attaining puberty and displaying their sexual prowess at ages that seem a tad difficult to believe and accept......


In a shocking, incredulous and eye popping development, three boys between the ages of eight and ten have been charged with raping a seven year old girl in Uttar Pradesh's Bhadohi district on Thursday last.......

The said incident occurred in the Gopalganj area of Bhadohi district and only came to light when the girl's condition took a turn for the worse on Thursday evening after which she was admitted to a government hospital.......

The victim a class III student was raped by the above mentioned three assailants when on her way back from school on Wednesday evening; the victim did not immediately report the incident to her parents and the rape was only established when her parents took her to a local government hospital after her condition began deteriorating.......

An FIR has been registered in this case and investigations are on, but the three assailants still continue to move around scot free despite the heinousness of their crime.........

A parliamentary panel expressly constituted to go into and examine the largely contentious issue of marital rape has unilaterally supported the government's decision of not accepting marital rape as a criminal offence and endorsed the same by saying that the same could "lead to practical difficulties".........

One may recall that the Justice J.S. Verma committee that was set up in the aftermath of the Delhi gang rape case to suggest suitable amendments in the criminal laws had strongly recommended that the exception of marital rape be removed from the Indian Penal Code...........

The government of the day however did not deem it fit to accept the Committee's recommendation in this regard as it was of the opinion that including marital rape as a criminal offence would cause irrepairable damage to the structure of the family as one has come to know it........

The parliamentary standing committee on home affairs in it's report on the Criminal Law (Amendment Bill 2012) submitted to the parliament on Friday last concurred with the government's view on this seemingly controversial issue.......

"The same (it) has practical difficulties. If litigations are allowed, then the family structure will be disturbed and disrupted", committee chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu of the Bharatiya Janata Party said while replying to a slew of questions on the same issue..........
