‘Unbecoming Of An Indian Woman’ To Fall Asleep After Rape: Indian Judiciary Hits A New Low

Khushboo Saluja by Khushboo Saluja

In a shocking instance of victim blaming and shaming, a judge of the Karnataka High Court said that it is “unbecoming of an Indian woman” to fall asleep after being raped.

A 42-year-old woman had lodged an FIR accusing her employee of rape, cheating and criminal intimidation. After a sessions court rejected the accused’s plea for advance bail, the High Court agreed to take on the matter.

Justice Krishna S Dixit gave the following statement in an order that granted anticipatory bail to the accused:

“.. the explanation offered by the complainant that after perpetration of the act she was tired and fell asleep, is unbecoming of an Indian woman; that is not the way our women react when they are ravished.”

As if this wasn’t enough, the complainant was questioned for not approaching the court sooner and was subjected to victim blaming.

“Nothing is mentioned by the complainant as to why she went to her office at night i.e. 11.00 pm; she has also not objected to consuming drinks with the petitioner and allowing him to stay with her till morning”

He further remarked that the court could not lose sight of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the increased threat of infection that it poses to prisoners.

What is a “becoming” reaction to sexual assault?

Here’s what we’d like to know…

What exactly constitutes a “becoming” reaction to being sexually violated? Who decides what is the best reaction to rape? And since when did WhatsApp University start handing out law degrees?

Twitter, too, had a few things to say about this bizarre statement:

 

This why women can never beat patriarchy. It will trample us to the ground one way or another:https://t.co/5v7d4ytDIw

— Cassandra ranjona banerji: prophet of doom (@ranjona) June 24, 2020

 

If falling asleep and consenting to drink dilutes the crime – “RAPE” then we all should be ashamed

There should be zero dispute on how a female and her body will/should react to trauma. She should not be judged for that

This verdict of HC is “unbecoming of gender equality” pic.twitter.com/Bk6ecNlwTy

— Snehal S (@Speakingpsyche) June 25, 2020

 

Where would a common person go if courts makes such comments? #KarnatakaHighCourt #sorry https://t.co/Cq0sJvnHVK

— Siddharth K Dwivedi (@SiddharthKD) June 24, 2020

Such regressive and insensitive statements by a judge of a High Court are alarming and irresponsibly propagate the normalisation of rape culture. When authoritative figures themselves hold on to such stereotypical notions about women, it’s difficult to hope for any changes in the societal mindset. It’s 2020, and it’s about time we shifted the focus of sexual assault investigations from the victim to the perpetrator.

Apart from being a bookworm, a film and theatre aficionado, an adventure sports enthusiast and an avid seeker of pop-culture, I’d best describe myself as the personification of bubbling soda. The perfectionist in me is convinced that the perfect cup of cappuccino is a myth.

No, ‘gaslighting’ has nothing to do with your stove. This is a form of abuse that is prevalent in a lot of relationships. These relationships don’t necessarily have to be romantic ones. It can be a friendship, a familial relationship, or even a professional relationship.

Link in Bio: Healthy food doesn’t mean it has to be tasteless and dry. Unfortunately, most people turn their noses up at healthy food like salads because of misconceptions like these. A salad full of healthy ingredients like leaves, vegetables, fruits, and proteins can be made delicious with the right salad dressing. There are so many types of easy salad dressings you can make at home with products you will find in every urban kitchen.

Ruled by the moon, the people born under the Cancer sign are extremely loving, fun, and charming. So, if you are falling for one of these water babies, we don’t blame you. They always get their way around things and people, and they can have you wrapped around their little finger quite easily. Also, all those flirty texts and funny one-liners are just a way of showing that they might be into you too. If you are planning to ask out the crab, here’s everything you need to know about dating a Cancer.
