Indian government to pay women $440 for each rape claim that they make

Problem : "More women are making rape claims"

Solution : "Pay women for making rape claims"

Gee... I wonder if rape claims will continue to rise?

The interesting part here is that they only get paid after a medical analysis proves rape, as though they perhaps already expected the system to be gamed. However as rape can be non-violent, basically that really means "after proving they had sex", which is either meaningless (they wore a condom) or welcome to false-accusation land!

Finally..

“Moreover,” he added, “no Indian woman would make a false claim of rape just to get financial support.”

...

No words... I have no words.

The same is true in the UK, and there have been a few cases of women crying rape to get their "cash reward"..

your link sucks. Link to the original article and rely on people to see the 'other discussion' tab.

India is probably the biggest matriarchy in the world (just look at this and men getting hit on 'female-only' trains despite other trains being full)

Meanwhile, rapists are forced to continue working pro boner.

Maybe there are many rapes that go unreported? Possibly because the women are scared of rebuttal, possibly violent, from their rapists or men in general? This is merely speculation though.

Anyway, I think Mens Rights should focus on the rights of men in America, England, Canada or wherever the OP is from. I doubt the OP lives in India, especially in the slums. Culture varies incredibly from country to country. We don't know the subtle nuances of daily life in other countries. Maybe this story is a justifiable outrage, maybe not. I don't think any of us who don't live in these places have any idea.
