"Traditional laws are not stringent enough to
yield any desired positive result. Suggestion of castration looks barbaric, but
barbaric crimes should definitely attract barbaric model of punishment. Many
may not agree with this. Still, everyone needs to understand the stark reality
in society and appreciate the punishment suggested," said Justice N
Kirubakaran, pointing to the fact that the conviction rate in cases of sex
offence against children is a mere 2.4% and that between 2008 and 2014, crimes
against children had increased by 400 per cent.
Do you agree with the decision of the Madras High Court?
