Most of the time, they pay up, because, even if they would not be convicted, the legal costs would exceed the amount demanded as blackmail.
Another such law in India is the prohibition of dowry.

Uh uh ... not sure I am going to like this video.
@Undead Mockingbird India is super fucked up however
@Undead Mockingbird it is a country with absolutely no justice against rapists
brazen gang rapes regularly go utterly unprosecuted, after numerous reports
Rapists are BURNED in the street.
Don't believe the propaganda.
it's both ways, undead
it is unjust for _everyone_
Rapist have never had it easy. They are attacked even by other inmates in prison. We used to burn, quarter, and castrate rapists - even just accused ones.
_if the mob wants you dead, you will die, if the mob wants you alive, you will live; guilt of the crime does not factor into it_
YES THAT I CAN AGREE WITH.
(sorry hit capslock)
India is very very very complex on this matter
obviously the solution is not the erasure of due process
but the strengthening of it
No, it's not complex: it's primitive. That's how we used to do it not too long ago in Europe.
in addition to protection of the accused (and the communications to the public about that)
Rape has always been one of the most punished crimes in humanity.
it's been one of the most heinous
however, vulnerable victims go unheard

Those were the kinds of punishment for rape.
Except, perhaps, in places where you need 5 witnessess to prove you were raped
The narrative that we ever, ever, EVER had anything like a "rape culture" is absolutely, horrific BS.
in nazi-occupied poland, the public rapes of girls and married women carried out would go unpunished, because the order does not care
(or actively endorses the rapes)
Yes, in instances were women were raped in war, even worse was done to men.
uhhh i think not
in India, there are regions where there are undesired minorities
who are subject to heinous victimization
without representation in law
I will point to clinton who wisely said "women are the primary victims of war"
wise politically, to be sure.
clinton would certanly know about women victims
Anyway, that's why I say shit is complicated in India
omg shillary
It's not as black-and-white as "rape is taken seriously" or "rape is not taken seriously at all!"
it's more like "some rapes are not taken seriously, and the determination of how seriously rapes are taken is not a fair one!"
