Entire world said, "It is the most brutal attack on a woman", but even after three years, one of the convicts of Nirbhaya Delhi bus rape, Mukesh Singh, showed no remorse and he blames the woman for the assault.
Some of his comments in prison interview to BBC were :
- A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy
- When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape
- A decent girl won't roam around 9:00 at night.
- Boy and girl are not equal. Housework and housekeeping is for girls.
- The death penalty will make things worse because now they will kill the girl after raping her
Unfortunately, even the well educated ones, his lawyers put blame on the victim. His lawyer,AP Singh said:
"If my daughter or sister engaged in pre-marital activities and disgraced herself and allowed herself to lose face and character by doing such things, I would most certainly take this sort of sister or daughter to my farmhouse, and in front of my entire family, I would put petrol on her and set her alight."
Another defence lawyer, ML Sharma said,
"In our society, we never allow our girls to come out from the house after 6:30 or 7.30 or 8.30 in the evening with any unknown person."
Our families are careful to not send girls out alone because these notions from society made it unsafe. If you found a girl outside at night, it doesn't mean you can do anything to her and it is justified. More than comments of the bus driver, the words of his lawyers hurt me. When some of the elite men of society still think women are to be blamed for the rapes, how safe is our country for women? What value did education add to these morons? Why no law punishes them when they make such stupid remarks against women? Is our judiciary system so stupid to allow defense lawyers talk any rubbish to save their most brutal client?
This appalling attitude of some men towards women is the main reason for attacks against women.
When would we start teaching men the right manners and stop blaming women for eve teasing, rape, murder, domestic violence, divorce?
