A few days after Mail Today revealed how some doctors in Delhi used electric
shocks and hormonal treatment among other things to cure homosexuality, news
has come of a boy being raped by his own mother to cure him of his
homosexuality.
The case of the boy who was forced to have sex with his mother was reported
from Bangalore. This came to light when Deepthi Tadanki began work on the
subject of corrective rape and decided to maek a documentary to create
awareness about the issue.
In another case, a homosexual girl who was having an affair with another woman
was raped by her cousin.
Reports reveal that parents with the help of cousins, brothers are using such
measures to cure homosexuality.
Families feel that the only way to help their straight kids get out of this is
having sex and mostly cousins are roped in to carry out the henious act.
All this is a part of corrective rape, a hate crime, which aims at correcting
the sexual orientation of a person by rape as a measure . It is popular in
South Africa and families plays an important role in it.
