Rape laws cannot be made gender-neutral: Centre to Delhi HC
The Centre has told the Delhi High Court that rape laws cannot be gender-neutral because of the perpetrator of the offence who's said to be a man. "Globally offences like sexual harassment...stalking are predominantly perpetrated by a man on a woman," it added. The HC was hearing a petition seeking to make Indian Penal Code's Sections 375 and 376 gender-neutral.
