Indians want an ordered society, expecting women to marry their attackers to retain their honour is not the way to accomplish this.
I too have been involved in rape trials both as a witness and a jury member, the victim in both cases was treated sensitively and respectfully.
The women of India deserve that too.

Then we'll have to agree to disagree. It seems as thought this case could finally be the straw that breaks the camels back. I don't think India is anymore of a barbaric country than most, but different countries have to reach their own enlightenment, and that change has to come from within.
We have to allow countries to get there own their own, and it seems as though recently, people are starting to speak out. You know me, and my views on everyone in society having a say, and being a voice, but the conditions that lead to men to commit crimes like this needs to be addressed, and the ancient caste system consigned to the history books.
The fact we put these people behind bars, doesn't separate us from India in my book. Humans are humans. If you are going to gang rape someone, and then further attack them, a 20 year prison sentence isn't going to dissuade them from doing it.
