Death penalty for child rape

As the news regarding the sexual abuse of minors keep pouring in, the cabinet is taking a brave decision. Government has yesterday decided that death penalty would be awarded to those who are convicted for raping minors below 12 years. The bill to make such law will be placed in the ongoing winter session of the parliament. Government has thought of drafting such ordinance after the sensation created by the gang rape of a minor girl in Kathua (Kashmir). The minimum imprisonment for other rape cases would also be increased with the present bill. A culprit who rapes a girl under the age of 16 and above 12 would be punished for 20 long years and the gang rapists of such girl will be sentenced for life imprisonment.
