India to make sexual assault of boys under age of 12 punishable by death penalty

Since in India women can't commit rape under the law because feminists fought to keep it gendered that means jack shit. Plus, the state killing people isn't justice.

It's a game. There's no reason it wasn't in the first bill other than "wymyn fyrst"

Only for males.

But while POCSO is gender-neutral, the amended Section 376 mentions the word “woman”. This meant that those guilty of raping boys below the age of 12 years old would not be subject to the death penalty provision.

“It resulted in an anomaly where the same crime committed against a girl and a boy is treated differently. The ordinance that was brought in to punish those raping girls less than 12 years contradicts the spirit of POCSO, which is gender-neutral,” one of the officials cited above said on condition of anonymity.

To correct this, the WCD ministry has finalised the proposal to amend sections 4, 5 and 6 of the POCSO Act, which will make rape committed against “any child” below 12 punishable with the death penalty.
