its not the past. A female president means nothing if she can't pass laws and laws mean nothing if they are not being enforced... Honour killings and bride burning isn't in the past, it happens everyday. Your ignorance is dangerous, because you can only help change India when you realize there is a problem... if you have sex with someone under 16 in South Africa you will be charged with statutory rape if a parent lays charges, regardless of consent. If you have sex with someone under 12 the state will charge you with rape regardless of consent. Meaning, as shxt as our government is at times, our laws are being enforced to prevent sex with children. marital rape is illegal too... According to our law, a husband can rape his wife. So again, we have laws that are being enforced. While our rape statistic are almost as bad as yours, there are laws in place and they are being enforced.. Child marriage might be illegal in India. Bride burning might be illegal... But its not being implemented good or fast enough. in 2012 over 8000 women died because of dowry issues. I know of one Islamic organization fighting the dowry system, so yes, people are trying. the education of girls in rural areas is an awesome step , but do the parents allow their daughters to go to school? or must they work at home? I said parts of India, meaning not your government or all of India. I know your government is trying, like minors being sentenced as adults in rape cases. But India is still stuck And moving very slowly.
the same law is in india you cant have sex with a women without marrying her it is a law here .. if you have sex with a girl under the age of 18 yrs then yout charged for rape .. rape cases arent ingnored .. and dowry is illegal in india if found guily the person Is sentenced for jail for 3 to 5yrs ... also the 8000 cases your talking abt half of the cases are fake which parents sue becauz they want revenge ... india has strict law against all these ... three rapes cases criminals have been senteced to death .. and yes ppl send their daughters for education it is must that the girl should be educated indian goverment has various schemes running like free railway travelling , free education , scholarship etc for girls
