| 1 | 19-year old guy has sex with 16-year old girlfriend. Girl's father drags him to court for kidnapping and rape. Girl says the sex was consensual. Boy gets three years for rape.How exactly did the gender issue play a role in this case? Would you care to clarify? Are you saying that the court is not giving weightage to the girl's consent just because she is a girl? Do you think if the court had not been influenced by the gender issue, they would have let go of the guy based solely on the girl's consent, even though she was a minor at the time? In fact, the court did consider the fact that the girl gave her consent and so reduced the guy's punishment. A US Supreme Court … | /r/MensRights | 01/02/11 09:35 PM |

Boy gets three years for rape.Look at it this way, the girls consent is being ignored. It could be construed that she does not have the right to have consensual sex with who she choses. Only because she was a legal minor at the time. It is not a gender issue ("women's right" as outraged2 put above). It is about the age. In every country in the world with a working legal system, a minor - male or female - cannot consent to sex. Minors don't have such rights and nobody else has the right to consent on behalf of the minor eithe… | /r/MensRights | 01/02/11 09:08 PM |

India is a country that is actually considering reserving one-third of the seats in Parliament for women (which I don't support - any kind of reservation for leadership positions anywhere is not a good idea). So, what is your point? | /r/MensRights | 01/02/11 06:50 PM |

Boy gets three years for rape.As per Indian law, marriage of minors is illegal. If anybody complained against such marriages and it was brought to the attention of the court (just like the case in the article was brought to the attention of the law), the parents and other people who conducted the marriage would be found guilty and punished. Just because it happens doesn't mean it is condoned by the law. | /r/MensRights | 01/02/11 05:56 PM |

Boy gets three years for rape.This is one of the most WTF comments I have come across on Reddit. I'd never have thought to interpret the events that way. Do you look at everything through the distorted lens of women's rights? This is what it says in the article: "The girl being a minor, her consent to sex did not help mitigate the boy's offence. For, law terms sex with a minor, with or without her consent, as rape." It wouldn't have mattered whether the father consented to the sex or not. The law would still have found the g… | /r/MensRights | 01/02/11 05:40 PM |
