High court in India says women often use rape laws for "vengeance and vendetta"

NEW DELHI: For the third time in less than a week, the Delhi high court has decried that rape laws are often misused by women.

Flagging the issue in a judgment on Saturday, Justice Kailash Gambhir said rape cases are being used as "a weapon for vengeance and vendetta" to harass and even force a boy to marry.

While granting anticipatory bail to a man facing rape charges from a woman claiming to be his wife, HC added that in many cases woman first has consensual sex but later files rape case against her boyfriend when the relationship breaks up in order to force him to get married, making not only "mockery" of the marriage but also inflating the statistics of rape cases.

"Many of the cases are being reported by those women who have consensual physical relationship with a man but when the relationship breaks due to one reason or the other, the women use the law as a weapon for vengeance and personal vendetta to extort money and sometimes even to force the boy to get married to her," HC said advocating extreme caution to judges who should "cautiously examine the intentions of the girl to find out whether the rape complaint is genuine or has malafide motives".

1. he is pretty much telling guys if they rape someone it's the fault of the victim

and in fact they(the rapist) is the actual victim.

what are the chances he has raped someone himself ?

2. You wouldn't believe how many ppl in America also think this.

Other women even! Unless there is solid evidence proving otherwise, I always believe the victim.
So far, I've only been wrong once. And even then this person was still attacked, just not raped. They stretched the truth about that part, but this person tends to exaggerate everything that happens to them until they get caught up in their own web, which is how the truth came out wrt that incident. That being said, I just can't imagine someone making up an entire attack, especially considering how rape victims are treated pretty much everywhere.
