Summary
An Indian court acquitted a man convicted of raping his wife, who later died, citing that marital rape is not a crime in India.
The ruling has sparked outrage, renewing calls to criminalize marital rape. Activists argue the decision is legally valid but morally unacceptable.
India’s outdated laws do not recognize non-consensual sex within marriage as rape.
Despite widespread domestic violence, resistance from the government and conservative groups has stalled reform efforts.
I feel like they are very different terms and also I think most people are sympathetic to the idea of castrating rapists
Yup, man here and I have no problem with that.
I dont get what they were on about. Probably virtue signalling or something silky
Not just feel like, they are extremely different terms, to the point where I’d barely call a vasectomy a punishment (it is a punishment only in the sense that they are prevented producing offspring and their junk will hurt for a few days), considering many men (including myself) voluntarily have the operation.
I’m sympathetic to the idea of castrating rapists (well except for that I’m still against it for the same reason as the death penalty, wrongful convictions happen just a little too often for such permanence), but that’s not what they said. They said…
…without regard for conviction or even accusation of rape, just “hey look balls, lemme cut these off.” Why would I be sympathetic to that? It’s just gender based wanton violence and that person is a danger to others and should be involuntarily commited.
Ofc they are different terms. As I said men get upset when women say they should be castrated for raping women, which is why I said vasectomy instead. Some days I just don’t wanna battle over dumb shit like that.
Vasectomy comes off as way dumber, rapists wanna fucks but not necessarily inseminate. They are hardly interchangeable;
Nobody gives a fuck about rapists fertiliity. Maybe you mean chemical castration and you’re conflating those. Dunno and im out so whatevs
Men with vasectomies can still inseminate - it’s just that the semen doesn’t contain any sperm.
Actually you said “any man they choose” not “for raping people.” That’s quite a difference, unless you’re operating under the assumption that all men have raped people and so “any man you choose” and “rapists” are synonymous to you, but you wouldn’t mean that, right?
That’s good to see you only mean rapists though, because I’ve been raped twice by two different women, and the law in my area requires penetration so by law they cannot be convicted of rape (at most “Sexual Assault” charges), so you support me mutilating their genitals extra judiciously so they don’t do it again too, because the government makes raping me legal, right? Why not?
