“Rape” Definition Facts Laws Help Line
Basic Information about rape is provided here.
Rape Faxts Statistics and the type of Reforms needed follows.
Rape Academic definition:
“Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse, which is initiated by one or more persons against another person without that person’s consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority or with a person who is incapable of valid consent, such as one who is unconscious, incapacitated, or below the legal age of consent.[1][2][3][4] The term is most often defined in criminal law.[2][4].(wiki)
Rape,Legal Definition.
Indian law treats rape as a criminal offence. It falls under criminal law in India. The Indian Penal Code (IPC) defines rape as intentional, unlawful sexual intercourse with a woman, without her permission.
Indian Law On Rape.
“375. Sexual Assault: Sexual assault means –
(a) The introduction (to any extent) by a man of his penis, into the vagina
(which term shall include the labia majora), the anus or urethra or
mouth of any woman or child–
(b) the introduction to any extent by a man of an object or a part of the
body (other than the penis) into the vagina(which term shall include the
labia majora) or anus or urethra of a woman
(c) the introduction to any extent by a person of an object or a part of the
body (other than the penis) into the vagina(which term shall include the
labia majora) or anus or urethra of a child.
(d) manipulating any part of the body of a child so as to cause penetration
of the vagina (which term shall include labia majora) anus or the
urethra of the offender by any part of the child’s body;
In circumstances falling under any of the six following descriptions:
Firstly – Against the complainant’s will.
Secondly – Without the complainant’s consent.
Thirdly – With the complainant’s consent when such consent has
been obtained by putting her or any person in whom the
complainant is interested, in fear of death or hurt.
Fourthly – With the complainant’s consent, when the man knows that
he is not the husband of such complainant and that the
complainant’s consent is given because the complainant believes that the offender is another man to whom the
complainant is or believes herself to be lawfully married.http://ncw.nic.in/PDFFiles/Amendments%20to%20laws%20relating%20to%20women.pdf
Rape Facts and Myths.
“Myth: Rape is caused by lust or uncontrollable sexual urges and the need for sexual gratification.
Fact: Rape is an act of physical violence and domination that is not motivated by sexual gratification.
Myth: Once a man gets sexually aroused, he can’t just stop.
Fact: Men do not physically need to have sex after becoming sexually excited. Moreover, they are still able to control themselves after becoming aroused.
Myth: Women often lie about rape or falsely accuse someone of rape.
Fact: Statistical studies indicate false reports make up two percent or less of the reported cases of sexual assault. This figure is approximately the same for other types of crimes. Only one out of 10 rapes are actually reported. Rapes by someone the victim knows are the least likely to be reported.
Myth: Women provoke sexual assault by their appearance. Sexual attractiveness is a primary reason why a rapist selects a victim.
Fact: Rapists do not select their victims by their appearance. They select victims who are vulnerable and accessible. Victims of sexual assault range in age groups from infants to the elderly. Sexual attractiveness is not an issue.
Myth: Sexual assault is a topic that only concerns women, and men do not have to be concerned about sexual assault.
Fact: According to recent rape crisis center statistics, men, both straight and gay, suffered 10 percent of the sexual assaults reported in the United States last year. In addition, men have wives, friends, sisters, mothers and daughters who may someday need assistance in coping with sexual assault. Rape is a concern for everyone.
Myth: If a woman really did not want to be raped, she could fight off her attacker.
Fact: Even if the rapist is not carrying a weapon, the element of surprise, shock and fear or the threat of harm can overpower a survivor.”

‘India Hates Women’ Is It? Don’t Talk Shop.
I came across a post titled ‘Being Female in India:A Hate Story’ more or less a Mayo’s Report on India.
As usual we do not need foreigners to misinterpret India , we Indians are adept at it.
Yes , it is written by an Indian where you find sweeping statements on India and Indian women, probably to show off as an intellectual.
Let me , at the out set state I am an out right critic of rape and advocate stringent punishment for the rapists.(read my blogs)
What are the statements made by the author?
Teen Pregnancy.
As expected the source is from Wall Street Journal which again is based on a UN report on Teen Pregnancy.
If Statistics can be twisted and quoted out of context , this is it.
The figures are for Human Development Index and under Women are these statistics.
It mentions Teenage pregnancy along with Malnutrition, Early marriage and forced marriage at an early age for girls.
Malnutrition is not selective for Girl child it is generic to both the Sex
Early marriage is definitely is on the wane and as to forced marriage,in fact the forced marriage often emanates from the girls/boys concerned now,look at boys and girls eloping when they are studying in X standard.( Forced marriages do exist albeit Ina small way as compared to the population and Literacy)
Teenage pregnancy;
The data does not provide an insight into how many rapes are due to Teen pregnancy .
All teen pregnancies are not due to rape.
That a woman can call even a consenting sexual act a Rape latter is some thing else!
So much for these Statistics.
Now to India’s ‘Rape’
Rape Tally,India 
Assuming parity in definition, India on a population that is 400% larger has a rape incident ratio which are 24% of US. | Graphic source – hindustan times.com; Hindustan Times e-Paper dated 2012-12-23 accessed at 17-29-59. Out goes your argument that India Tops the Rape List!
‘We abort Millions of fetuses’
The source for the writer in The telegraph article.
Tell me how many of these are from rape?
Look at this from the same article.
‘
The mean number of children per Indian woman fell from 3.8 in 1990 to 2.6 in 2008.
Selective abortion of female fetuses accounts for two to four per cent of female pregnancies in India, roughly 300,000 to 600,000 per year out of 13.3 to 13.7 million carrying a girl in 2010, the study found.
From 2001 to 2011, the practice increased at a rate of 170 per cent, slowing from 260 per cent over the previous decade.
In the study, researchers led by Prabhat Jha of the Centre for Global Health at the University of Toronto, analysed census data from 2011 and earlier.’
Figures speak.
Single woman. Quoted from WSJ. No body eyes a Single woman with suspicion ,in fact . at least in the South we try to take care of her as
in loco parentis.
Only when male visitors stay up late in the night in her room or drinking and partying goes on we do object it.
Reference has been made to Dowry.Please tell us whether it is the Boy, The father of the Boy or the Mother of the Boy demands the
Dowry.
How many female Fetuses are aborted by the commands of women?
No doubt Rape is a heinous crime and has to be eradicated.
It does not mean that all men are ogres and Rapists.
Shall I talk of Female rapists? ( especially at the work place)
The article is curiously silent about the provocation of women in scantiest of Clothes.
On top of it there is a placard showing .
Placard against Rape. Unfortunately the advice is given only to protect two men and not to encourage Rapists.
Sex is a primordial urge;don’t incite it by sexiest dresses(revealing) or statements like ‘I want to look sexy.
If women continue finding fault only with men there is no solution,look at your self as well .
Remember Your Father, Brothers, Husband and Sons are all…….MEN.
India hates women. It is with this bald fact that I wish to begin—and end—my response to the horrific crime that occurred this week in Delhi, the rape, by multiple perpetrators, of a young woman on public transport in our capital city. She was raped by a gang of men, and she and her companion were both severely beaten, stripped naked and thrown from the bus in which they had been travelling. The young woman, to whom this response is dedicated, now lies fighting for her life, her uterus and intestines ruptured from the brutal attack, in a Delhi hospital.
If any Indian claims to be surprised by this crime and that Indian is a mentally competent, responsible adult, then he or she is lying. There are, of course, other, gentler names—ignorance, hypocrisy, denial. But let us call a spade a spade. Anyone who has experienced life growing up in India, who can claim the minimum level of education and awareness that should come with reading the newspapers, with a high school diploma or by simply keeping one’s eyes open, knows about India’s hatred for women. If he or she says otherwise, that assertion is false. In other words, he or she lies. And it is in those lies of ours, in that denial that persists in spite of India’s shameful record asone of the most misogynistic countries in the world—it is those lies that beat up and raped that young woman, that sent her crushed and bleeding, torn and broken inside and out, to that hospital where she lies now in her agony. Our lies made the attack possible, created a space for it to happen.

Delhi Gang Rape Agitation Survey Indian Hypocrisy
One has to see the agitators gushing sound bites in the Electronic Media on the atrocity of Gang Rape in New Delhi .
Hordes of people surged towards the India Gate,Rajpath and Raisina Hill, home of The president of India.
Laudable,won’t you think?
A Story was published in The Times of India
Minor Girl Raped,Video Clips posted on Internet‘
I posted the Following comment
‘The solution lies in ostracizing the culprits, enhancement of family values,moderate dressing and the refusal to accept decadent Western values like Drinking even by girls in Bars where the atmosphere in carnal. If the girls still refuse the code of Safety and honor, none can help for you can not help some one who willfully steps int to an abyss. House parties which generally degenerate into Drunken brawls and orgies are to stopped in Families. The excessive income from IT and Corporate Sector lure the youth by providing money more than they could handle.’
