Men Cell: Delhi High Court Says Women Can Face Gang-Rape Charges for Alleged Facilitation — कानून में Gender-Based Exemption नहीं

Men Cell | Can a Woman Face Gang-Rape Charges Without Physically Committing the Act?

The Delhi High Court has dismissed a woman's challenge to a gang-rape charge, ruling that a woman can also be prosecuted under Section 70 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) if she allegedly facilitates the crime with the required common intention.

The Court clarified that the law does not automatically exempt women merely because they did not physically commit the alleged act.

यह फैसला एक महत्वपूर्ण legal principle सामने लाता है: if a person allegedly helps facilitate a serious crime, gender alone should not determine criminal liability. हालांकि, a charge is not a conviction; guilt must be established through due process.

WHAT IS YOUR VIEW? Should criminal liability depend on evidence and involvement rather than gender?
