One of cruelest and nastiest crimes in this whole world is rape. But even after knowing this, people aren’t ashamed of committing such a nasty crime. Given the sudden increase in rapes, different countries decided to get rid of this and made various brutal punishments.
India is also one of the countries who faces maximum sexual assaults and has a rather long process of punishment. Earlier rapists weren’t punished badly but now after various amendments the punishment laws have changed for better and also have started making stringent decisions in rape cases.
Let’s check out what rape punishments different countries have decided for rapists.
1. India
In India sexual assault has become pretty common. Almost every morning we are greeted with a headline saying ‘A girl raped again’. But now Indian government is adamant to reduce this increasing sexual assaults and for that, a new amendment was made in the year 2013 in the anti-rape bill. Now according to this new amendment, a rapist will be sentenced with a lifetime jail (which is actually 14 years only). Also, in the rarest of rare cases, the rapist will be sentenced to death.
2. France
It is said that people of France are pretty much hardcore with their rape laws. The French law clearly declares that a rapist will be sentenced to 15 years in jail and it can be extended to 30 years, depending on the brutality and damage.
3. China
The laws for rape in China is in a way good and in a way, it’s bad as well. In China, a rapist is directly sentenced to death even without a trial session. Which sometimes lead to them punishing an innocent.
4. Saudi Arabia
The rape punishment in Saudi Arabia is by far the cruelest rape punishment. In Saudi Arabia, a rapist is beheaded in public after he is administrated to sedatives. They also opt for the same punishment for drug trafficking.
North Korea has dictatorship which results in blurred and unclear laws. North Korea directly sentences rapists to death. The firing squad shoots them in public.
6. Afghanistan
The law for rapists in Afghanistan states that the victim will be hanged to death or will be shot directly in the head. This is done within the 4 days of the crime or after the judgment is passed by the court.
7. Egypt
Egypt follows the still outdated system of hanging rapists to death. But I guess in the case of rapists be it old or new every punishment feels less.
8. Iran
Rapists in Iran are hanged to death. Sometimes they are directly hanged to death or sometimes allegedly by stoning. But sadly enough the victimized person who was raped is also punished.
9. Israel
In Israel, a rape convict is liable to sentence to 16 years in prison. People of Israel include all kinds of sexual assaults in this.
10. USA
In the USA, the sentence for a convicted rapists depends on upon where exactly the trail falls. If the trial falls under federal law then the sentence can range from few years to the day the convict dies.
11. Russia
Rapists in Russia are sentenced with only 5-6 years of jail. Though it can be extended to 10 years depending upon the situation and in the rarest cases this sentence can also increase to 20 years.
