A solution to tackle rapists.

24 lawmakers visit Haryana to probe spate of rape cases

Rohtak, Oct. 17 (ANI): A delegation of 24 lawmakers is visiting Haryana to review the situation arising out of the spate of rape cases, including that of a girl who killed herself after she was forced to have sex with three men.

The state authorities have struggled to combat rising crimes against women, including domestic violence, molestation, trafficking and rape.

Just a few women in India ever report rape cases due to the lack of support, but more so the shame they face by going public.

Seventeen rapes have been reported in more than a month in Haryana - a rich, agricultural region bordering New Delhi-where deep-rooted conservative and patriarchal attitudes have often been blamed for gender crimes.

The delegation included lawmakers from various parties, who were visiting Jind district to find out the reason of surge in rape cases and the measures that are being taken to curb them.

Lawmaker and leader of Communist Party of India, D Raja told reporters on Wednesday that they are visiting the state to find out the reason as to why such cases are on the rise.

"We have come to find out why such things are happening in Haryana, unchecked. It is not the first time. Such incidents keep on happening in Haryana, whether it is the failure of the government, whether it is the failure of the police forces, what is the exact reason, why the culprits are not nabbed promptly and punished with stringent measures?" said Raja in Rohtak.

India has robust gender laws, but they are hardly enforced, partly because a feudal mindset is as prevalent among bureaucrats, magistrates and the police as it is elsewhere.

Politicians are also unwilling to crack down on customary biases against women for fear of losing conservative votes.

In India, public knowledge of the rape of a woman is seen as a blot on the victim, which not only scars her emotionally and physically, but also most likely determines the course of her life (and often that of her families and her siblings).

This is a deeply conservative and patriarchal region where age-old customs such as payment of hefty dowries at the time of marriage and beliefs linking a female's sexual behaviour to family honour have made girls seem a burden.

In 2011, 24,206 rape cases were reported, according to India's National Crime Records Bureau - a figure which gender rights activists say is a gross under estimation. (ANI)

I don't see what these 24 lawmakers are going to find when the answer to these regular rape cases is obvious.

There has been so much female feticide in the the three states of Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan that the men are not finding women to marry. They are going outside the state, looking for girls for marrying.

As per 2011 census the female child ratio per 1000 male in Haryana is 877 against the All India average of 944.

Only 3 states are worse.

Dadar & Nagar Haveli - 776

Chandigarh - 818

Delhi - 866. You will note Delhi and Chandigarh are contiguous to Haryana.

Two states have a positive female ratio.

Ponducherry - 1038 and Kerala - 1084, probably because they have matriarchal inheritance laws there.

Haryana has been the worst culprit and is always in news for the wrong reason maybe because of its proximity to Delhi which has given it tremendous wealth because of the land bonanza. This new found wealth has made the new rich fearless in committing crimes.

Sometimes it is khap panchayat passing preposterous rules which are supported by even Chauthala and an enlightened businessman/MP like Navin Jindal.

They are willing to kill couples because they marry in the same Gotra or marry outside their caste.

Name any crime, Haryana leads.

I would suggest only one solution for the rapists.

THEY SHOULD BE CASTRATED AND THEIR PENIS AMPUTATED, LEAVING JUST A 1/2" STUMP FOR URINATION ONLY.
