Re: [nukkad] Death for rape?

["Dr.M.C. Gupta" <>]

Ref: a man was sentenced to death today by
the Mumbai high court for raping a 10 yr old a decade ago....

The above is incorrect. The death sentence was for murder, NOT for rape. The
convict had committed both offences. It is impossible to give death sentence
for rape in India, because it is just not prescribed in Indian law. As a
matter of fact, out of the few countries where death sentence is legal, very
few prescribe it for rape.
