Breakup with girlfriend is called rape

Ooh, this is from India!

Mothers can stop fake rape

In the 90s, a campaign from India on dowry and domestic violence vilified mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. A journalist once remarked "The female-centric laws are now focussed on the daughters-in-law. As if mothers-in-law aren't women anymore...". So now, when a woman files a dowry complaint, the mother/ sister of the husband are also culpable.

This new attempt is gonna vilify the mothers of the daughters, if at all they try to prevent them from falsely accusing someone.

Maybe an indian brother could explain this or 498a abuse.

It is IPC376. The interpretation of this law says – if a couple has physical relation then the boy is liable to marry the girl if she wants it, otherwise the boy is deemed to have raped the girl!!!

Rape is defined in section 375 of the penal code, not section 376. The definition is clearly written and there's no way it could be interpreted as saying that failing to marry after sex converts the sex into rape.

Women reporting consensual sex as rape because they regret it after the fact is something that can happen anywhere. Even if it's more common in India than elsewhere (and I have no idea if it is), there's nothing in the text of the law that legitimizes it.

The rest of the blog post is an incoherent mess of links most of which have nothing to do with the subject at hand. They linked this article unironically, as evidence that women enjoy being raped. I'm going to take it instead as evidence of the amount of fact checking that went into the whole post.

That will solve India's population problem.
