What to do when the Law itself is against Justice?

The law states rape as a crime and also has a provision for such rapists to escape under the excuse of being a minor. This is the law but this is sheer injustice. Now the question is, what to do when the law itself is against justice?

If we follow the law and commute the punishment to a year or two in the reformatory school expecting a transition from a demon to 'good behavior', we are barring the victim and her parents from justice. We need reformations. On one hand an innocent girl is paralyzed both physically and mentally and on the other hand the culprit escapes with a petty punishment just because he is able to produce a certificate that proves that he is less than 18. This has already happened in the Nirbhaya Case, which happened in December 2012. The case received nation-wide condemnation and forced Indian Government to amend rape laws. While the four adult rapists received death penalty, the young convict -who was six month short of coming of age was sentenced to only three years in a correctional facility.

Today a high percentage of sexual crimes in India are committed by teenagers, who know that they can get away with it. If in pre-meditated murders and rape, the offenders are bought at the higher courts than this would discourage juvenile criminals.

Rape-Cases should not be treated like other cases and kept pending at Lower Court and then Higher court. Rape and cases associated with crime against women should be treated under fast trials and it should be ensured that neither the criminal escapes nor an innocent gets jailed.

Juvenile Rapists - Commute or Convict??

Old enough to rape but young to be punished..

Juvenile is person who has not yet attained sexual maturity. The section 2 (K) of the Indian Law of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of children) Act, 200 defines juvenile or child as a person who has not completed eighteenth year of age. I believe that the fault lies in the definition of the Indian Law. Today the court recognizes the freedom of guilty minors more than the lives of innocent rape victims. The amendment in the law is an early need.

I don't understand why are those ill-minded people been sent to the Juvenile development centers? As said that a rotten potato in a basket destroys all the other good, similarly an ill-minded so-assumed minor rape accused would also destroy the other minors in such centers who have been sent there on petty charges. There is no scope for the rectification. 

These so-assumed minors should be treated at par with other criminals and should be punished to death. Keeping them alive under the term of 'life imprisonment' would only waste the good amount of money that we pay as tax. 

Rape is the most brutal and bestial act. If a boy is found out guilt than because of his less age he shouldn't be let off. If he is old enough to gather the guts to rape, he is also old enough to be hanged. Rape cases should be treated under fast trials and if convicted they must be hanged immediately. Chop off the rapists from the society, rape will soon be eliminated. Where its the case with rape the saying changes to, 'Kill the sinner and the sin will be eliminated'.
