Pakistan passes anti-rape bill allowing chemical castration of repeat offenders

The bill was passed by the National Assembly of Pakistan on November 17.


Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN)Sex offenders convicted of multiple rapes could face chemical castration in Pakistan after lawmakers on Wednesday passed new anti-rape legislation that aims to speed up convictions and impose tougher sentences.

It comes in response to a mass public outcry over a recent surge in rapes against women and children in the country, and growing demands to ensure justice for victims of sexual assault.

The bill states that Pakistan's government must establish special courts nationwide to expedite rape trials and ensure sexual abuse cases are decided "expeditiously, preferably within four months."

Those found guilty of gang rape will be sentenced to death or life in prison.

Chemical castration is the use of drugs to reduce libido or sexual activity. It is a legal form of punishment in countries including South Korea, Poland, the Czech Republic and in some US states.


Amnesty International said the penalty of chemical castration was "cruel and inhuman" in a statement last December, when the bill was announced.

"Instead of trying to deflect attention, the authorities should focus on the crucial work of reforms that will address the root causes of sexual violence and give survivors the justice they deserve," Amnesty said.

Fewer than 3% of sexual assault or rape cases result in a conviction in Pakistan, Reuters reported last December, citing Karachi-based non-profit War Against Rape.

In a landmark ruling in January, virginity tests on sexual assault survivors were outlawed in Pakistan's most populous province, Punjab.

The so-called virginity tests, which include inspecting the hymen or inserting two fingers into the vagina, are invasive examinations conducted under the belief that they can determine whether a female is a virgin.



There is question, why no castration for single rape?

Repeat offenders should be hanged .
 
.
Just get a machine to bang their bunghole 24/7 for a full year. Should be enough punishment.
 
. .
Plus a GPS collar around their necks


What is repeat? 2 times, 3 times, 4 times? What's the check mechanism to safeguard misuse of the law, just like so many people abuse blasphemy law to get even with their enemies?

The best check is if the accusation is false with malintent, then the accuser gets the same punishment which the accused might have gotten
I agree with you on that. Whoever rapes or molests, should be on that registry.

Incase a mistake a false allegation is made.

Lmao....it's not black and white.

The Sharia can be amended and is flexible depending on the situation. I get it....you're part of the crowd that says "Islam has no place in the 21st century.....it does in the 7th century". :rolleyes:

Either way, read my post above on how useless this whole "chemical castration" process is.


Which is why Islam provides a one stop solution.

Stoning. But what about "muh human rightz"?? :lol:

Islam Kay Theekaydar Mullah Khud Rapist Hain

Only those rape cases reported if some child is killed, due to fear of defamation,
mullah are child predator, 99% case not reported and rapist are free..

Who told you Mullahs are "thaykaydars" not "theekaydars" of Islam??

When did Islam need thaykaydars??

You see, you need to educate yourself on Mullahs and Islam before typing here on PDF.

Mullahs aren't the only child predators in Pakistan. There are multiple threads here on PDF itself where females in colleges have complained about their professors for sexual advances, if not sexual assault itself.

Your scrutiny of one part of Pakistani society while a blind eye towards the rest shows only your hypocrisy and/or unwillingness to see the bigger picture.

I am by no means defending anyone. Just showing you that Mullahs (some, not all) aren't the only rapists/predators in Pakistan.

Do the Kasuri cases also involve Mullahs??

It's a established fact that most cases of child abuse (reported or unreported) involve someone close to the victim. Like someone part of their extended family.

Clean shaved with a mustache. Hallmark of British product in Pakistan. :rolleyes:

Just another thread people use to hate on Mullahs and madressas.
Most rapes happen in your up scale universities in Islamabad and Lahore but no one blames universities? But criticize all Mullahs and madrassas because of some black sheep. Why don’t these people hating on madrassas and Mullahs implement the punishment in shariah for rapists. The punishment all madrassas and Mullahs want to see. That punishment is “too cruel” for liberals
 
.
because Mullahs are already against the current bill.
any further tightening of law will be seen as a direct threat to their MADrassahs .
they will join hands with opposition to stage violent protests..
Madressas advocate for shariah so why not punish rapists according to shariah and stone them to death publicly? Its liberals who would be the first ones to cry human rights if we do that. If Mullahs and madressas are threatened with this bill than why not implement shariah and see those so called Mullahs get stoned to death?

It’s easy to put all the blame on madressas and Mullahs even though their a small percentage of rapes there. Why does everyone ignore the elite and universities where most the rape happen?

In Lahore where 400 men groped a woman in public were they madressa kids? Were they Mullahs?
The woman who was raped in Lahore motorway at night on the road in front of her children was she raped by Mullahs or madressas?
The store owners who put cameras in woman’s dressing rooms and video woman changing are they madressa or Mullahs?
The woman who get gang raped walking on the streets at night are they raped by Mullahs or madressas?
The woman raped at work are they raped by Mullahs or madressas?
The lady doctors who are raped by their co workers are they raped by Mullahs or madressa?
The woman raped by waderas in sindh are they raped by Mullahs or madressa?

People like you always find a way to blame madressas and Mullahs while ignoring facts because facts is more rapes happen outside of madressas in universities and elite peoples homes but you guys love ignoring that.

Also did you forget the reason imran khan gave why we can’t hang rapists in public? It wasn’t cause of Mullahs or madressas in fact they supported hanging rapists in public. It was because of EU and our local liberals crying human rights.

And just want to remind you madressa students are one of the smartest in Pakistan go look at the Pakistani winners when they won at international competitions they were almost all madressa kids

bhai srif madarse ka issue nahi hai .... elite schools main bi scandal atey hai .... you are making it look like an issue related to ONLY ONE segment which is not true, even PPP the so called progressive political party IS STILL opposing it.

every b@stard who find some power from every class of the society commit this crime .... few year back there was a scandal of one of Hospital which was one of the favorite hospital of elite businessmen and politicians of Sindh but scandal was buried

Most recent scandal which is ignored by media is related to a lady doctored who was raped by a member of influential political family of Balochistan.

Banks, Media, Education you name it and finds such hush hush stories from every walk of life.
Absolutely right.

Its a big step. I know it will be a difficult and hard road but we needed some law against Rape. My guess is after this more women will come out and many more scandals will come to light from every aspect of life.
I read some where most of the rapes are not reported because it will give the family a bad name and no one will marry the victim. it also stated that most of the rapist are among their families. These issues are needed to be addressed. Some sort of program for the victims should be started. Atleast its the first step but a long way to go.
