If we are to deter rapists and molesters, the punishment has to be equally harsh. It must act as a deterrent. Today's legal procedure in India acts more as an incentive than as a deterrent. Many of our political leaders ,end support to such shady elements to get their 'jobs' done, and , most sadly, the press itself cannot be absolved from such crimes. Rape must compulsorily draw the punishment of CASTRATION in public, and all such cases must be decided within a fixed time period. Wrong conviction must give equally harsh punishments to the police investigating the case. Molestation must also draw harsh punishment. Women misusing rape and molestation as weapons against their lovers/acquiantances must also be given equally harsh punishments matching Hammurabi's law's. Hopefully, this will make life better for single women in India.
