Last month the state of
Haryana saw more than 15 rape cases and the Government says that rapes in
Haryana are consensual a statement given by Haryana Pardesh Congress committee
(HPCC) member Dharamvir Goyat.
Earlier, opposition
leader chief Om Parkash Chautala is sincerely seeking to lower a women's marriageable age to prevent rape cases. He wants to introduce "Child
Marriage". What a solution to prevent rape....
Suggestion to lower the
marriageable age of boys and girls to bring down incidents of rape points to
the utter failure of our society to protect a girl child. Instead of
strengthening her protection, our leaders want to confine the girl child indoors.
They say child marriages should be legalised to ‘rescue’ girls from such
crimes. Is there any evidence to show that married women are not sexually
assaulted or that married men do not commit the heinous crime? Why are
solutions to crimes against women in the form of restrictions like ‘don’t go to
school, don’t go to work,’ etc? Instead, why not teach our sons to respect
girls?
Child marriage is a crime
against society, especially girls. These
reckless statements given by our leaders only show the pathetic situation in
which the nation is. Our politicians are not only corrupt but also irresponsible.
Where is the nation
heading??? God have mercy......
"Rape is a
reproach on Haryana"....
