[h=1]To put an end to abuse of children, HC suggests castration of rapists[/h][h=2]Justice N. Kirubakaran also directed the Union government to decide on introducing compulsory sex education for high school students.[/h]In yet another strongly worded judgment from the Madras High Court, a judge has suggested that the Central government consider castration as an additional form of punishment for child sex abusers.

“When law is ineffective and incapable of addressing the menace, this court cannot keep its hands folded and remain a silent spectator, unmoved and oblivious of the recent happenings of horrible blood-curdling gang rapes of children in various parts of India,” Justice N. Kirubakaran said in a recent order. He said castration for child rapists would fetch “magical” results in preventing child abuse.

The judge said this while dismissing a petition by the accused, a British national, who sought the quashing of the proceedings against him in a lower court.

The judge further said that “though the suggestion of castration looks barbaric, barbaric crimes should definitely attract barbaric models of punishment” and the very thought of the punishment should deter the culprit from committing the offence.

[h=1]‘Make sex education must for students’[/h]Justice N. Kirubakaran of the Madras High Court, who suggested castration as additional form of punishment for child sex abusers, directed the Union government to decide on introducing compulsory sex education for high school students.

“Denying youngsters correct and scientific information would lead [them] to acquire half-baked and incorrect knowledge from other sources, like Internet, friends and movies, creating misconception and doubts.”

‘Amend visa form’

Taking note of the number of cases of foreigners abusing children, the judge referred to the International Child Protection Certificate (ICPC) developed by the United Kingdom to protect children and said the visa form issued by the Indian Embassy had to be amended with the provision of a column requiring the applicants to give the details of convictions, actions warranting reprimands and impending cases.

Punishment suggested for rapists is mere castration or castration unto death.
