I think it is a horrible act and perpetrators who commit the crime should be punished severely. The penalty for such crimes should be death. Some people feel that strict provisions may be misused against innocent people. But why should a majority of victims suffer because of few dishonest individuals? Society needs to open up and start supporting women. We might talk about their liberation, but women are still suffering.

Yes of-course. Because, due to some dishonest individuals, women wont be able to do their works freely. For example family member wont allow women to stay outside for late night why because of fear of dishonest peoples or criminals.



In my opinion Death Sentence is the best way to develop the fear free society where the women play a very very important role in the growth of our society.

Giving a death sentence is not an end to the problem.
A better solution should be that womens should become more powerful so that such incidents donot happen.They should be given adequate training to deal with such situations.They should not go to places where they feel insecure or they should keep sprays or things like that which can make the other person unconscious .
so,the womens should take the initiative.

My dear friend Rana you shouldn't give such type of comments as only the women has to become strong or she has to take care of herself like dont go to this or that places its really disappointing what you said.



This is not the solution for any crime to be inside your home or learn Karate or boxing all womens cant do that man! If we really want to do some we should educate people like its not just having sex with the lady its more than a murder because after murder your life end there itself but rape is something which is a black chapter in that girl's or lady's life. Whole life she has to suffer for that even though she didn't attempt any crime, but she has to take full life punishment.



In my opinion Death sentence is the only way by which we can make fear in the rapist heart or mind. If its not there they will continue this because they know nothing will happen to them, after sometime they will get releif and come back to thier normal life, but don't you think this person spoil a innocent person's life and still he is roaming in our society without any guilt and fear between us.



One more thing if terrorist attacks our country what will do we all not come out of the house because they will kill us or we have make same fear in thier mind that if they do so even they will get killed by justice and again they dont have that much courage to come and see towards our country only.



Something like that only we have to do for these rapists also then only we can stop them otherwise it will increase day by day.

Well according to me giving death sentence is not the ultimate end. If we are doing this it will not end up such rape cases n all. We should rather think of removing the cause then the after effects. We should do something which can help us make such people guilty instead of giving them death sentence. Even Mr.Rana has a point, no harm in taking precautions.



we should understand the cause first before reacting in any way,one big reason is a girl herself,her exposing clothing,over frank nature with friends can lead to increase in such traumas.



Even in a survey conducted,it is found that,around 70%+ of rape cases are happening because of western or over exposed clothing. And for the remaining % of cases,the accused should be given a worst punishment then a death sentence,because in my point of view,death sentence is quite a easy punishment for the accused.

Yes, I agree with swati to some extent. Women don't need to get trained on karate etc. But death sentence is not the right punishment, because the culprit has to know the mistake he has committed and should be punished severely, very horribly that he should feel even death is better than punishment.



He should be held at jail for life time. And this way of punishment should be campaigned in all public places by the government so that every one fears of committing that kind of mistake.

Yes I agree with Swati. But mainly should be in such away that punishment has to given to the particular person will realize. As should see real taste of death.

Death penalty is the only deterrent to a heinous crime like rape. As mentioned by a speaker above it is unfortunate that a women's countenance is being blamed for the crime instead of the man's intention. To value a women's life, to give her justice awarding death penalty to the guilty might be of some justice.

Yes the rapist has to be given death sentence because no one likes to die if you award him life time he is gonna happily spend the rest of the years in jail. Only this can bring fear for committing such crime by anyone in the future.

No guys, death is not the only way to give punishment to a rapist. In my opinion there are several other ways by which we can stop such traumas. I think that in such cases girls are 60% responsible for what happens to them. The dressing sense of girls nowadays has crossed every limits and the type of fashion what girls are adopting today can't be ignored and everything what girls are doing today is just to maintain the high society (specially girls from middle class family). I'm not saying that girls are only responsible but they can save them from such situation as Rana and Veena has already explained.
