This issue is quite a sensitive one and we already have express our deep
sympathey with the victim. I think, this is not a right forum to discuss
over the matter. These people are only wasting the valuable time of the
members. I request moderator, kindly intervene in the matter and ask all
the members not to make further comment over the matter. These sensitive
issues should not be posted in the group because everyone of us are behaving
like a lawyer without knowing the fects and actual situation of the case.

Gurgaon: Blind banker gets 10-year jail for raping blind woman
After reading all the discussion on the subject so far, I have a
question arising in my mind. If the man really wanted to help the
widow and wanted her to be his life partner, then why did he not marry
her first and perform the sexual communion later?
He took her to the guesthouse and had sex with her, on the pretext of
making her meet a lawyer.
This itself shows that the man's main motive was to satisfy his lust from
her.

Well, maintaining clean distance or having / not having sex only after
getting married is subject to individual's choice.
But what has become clear from this whole discourse is that our
society is still insensitive even to an extremely sensitive situation
of a rape victim. The ones who are open minded, interpret the
situation in simplistic way undermining the undercurrents to which
women are still subjected to in our society, while others cannot even
come out of male chauvinism and put the blame of her situation on the
female itself, going to the extent of questioning her character and
sensibilities as happened in the bygone era.
In this case, even if according to certain thoughts it was a
consensual sex, what still remains a question is that what really we
mean by consensus. Asking for a choice after making someone a victim
of their atrocities, creating dependency in every sense, breaking
someone emotionally, leaving no / limited choice for her and then
asking for consensus is really not consensus according to my belief. I
will leave on others to spare a thought to it and decide what free
consensus according to them really is. Did the lady really have had a
free choice to decide whether or not to indulge into sexual
relationship with Mr. Kapoor repeatedly over the course of time?
I continue to believe that Mr. Kapoor deserves the punishment of
harshest kind because this whole case exists because he raped her in
the guest house in the first instance and the convict should not be
spared what so ever the situation is. No innocent deed at later stage
can justify a gruesome crime of rape.
I will stop my comments on this issue for now as most of the thoughts
are repeating only.
