Victim-Blaming by Court

So, the court says the girl’s statements reveal a perverse streak! In granting bail to all three accused in a case of repeated rape and blackmail involving the students of a private university at Sonipat near Delhi, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has once again brought to the fore a critical debate concerning the victim’s position in our criminal justice process. According to the court, the case displays an instance of casual relationships with friends and acquaintances and adventurism. That may be so and universities and educational institutions need to pay attention to such issues.
