Live Law reports the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livelaw.in\/top-stories\/fast-track-court-in-goa-tehelka-magazine-tarun-tejpal-rape-case-174721\"><strong>judge\u2019s perspective<\/strong><\/a>, &#8220;<em>The photos show the prosecutrix to be absolutely cheerful and with a smile on her face and not disturbed, reserved, terrified or traumatised in any manner<\/em>\u201d. While the Goa government is appealing the ruling, the judge is not in a minority when it comes to throwing out rape cases, because the victim does not live up to the stereotype of a rape victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gumlet.assettype.com\/freepressjournal\/2021-05\/c3e0ccad-4538-4fcf-928e-44302814f7eb\/2105_20210521084856_india_court_tejpal_afp_9ag29m.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Former journalist Tarun Tejpal (R) and his wife (L), arriving at the district court of Mapusa in Goa on May 21, 2021 | (Photo by AFP)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Throughout history, women who exerted agency were labelled harlots, while those who followed the rules of patriarchy were labelled virtuous.&nbsp; Society\u2019s notions of a woman\u2019s purity have inevitably been linked with the twin concepts of virginity and chastity. And the binary is very stark \u2013 women who are virgins before marriage, and chaste after are good women, and women who are not \u2013 are fallen. In all this, rape was seen as the woman not doing enough to protect herself. Her virtue not strong enough to shield her. Women were expected to take the honourable way out and end their lives, if such an incident took place; or if the rapist offered marriage, then that was considered a sort of redemption of the fallen woman. If a woman dared to continue with her life, putting aside the trauma of rape, then she would be judged. How dare she not die of shame? How dare she continue with life? How dare she enjoy herself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the last 100 years or so, as women moved from being property to being recognised as individuals with inalienable rights, the views on virginity and chastity have become more relaxed. But, the views on rape have not really changed. The onus is still on the woman to prevent it. The way we say \u2018woman raped\u2019 indicates that in our minds we still put the responsibility of rape on her. Almost as though she got her self raped because of something that she did.&nbsp; In the book, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Ra01Go\"><strong>The Purity Myth: How America&#8217;s Obsession with Virginity is Hurting Young Women<\/strong><\/a>\u201d Jessica Valenti makes a very telling point, when she says \u201cshould we treat women as independent agents, responsible for themselves? Of course. But being responsible has nothing to do with being raped. Women don\u2019t get raped because they were drinking or took drugs. Women do not get raped because they weren\u2019t careful enough. Women get raped because someone raped them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Men rape women. This is a fact as old as history.&nbsp; According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2019\/11\/1052041\"><strong>United Nations<\/strong><\/a>, \u201cA third of all women and girls experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime\u201d. In India, There were 32,033 rapes reported in 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/ncrb.gov.in\/sites\/default\/files\/crime_in_india_table_additional_table_chapter_reports\/Table%203A.3_2.pdf\"><strong>according<\/strong><\/a> to the NCRB, about 87 rapes a day. Or more precisely 87 men who were charged with rape, every day. The real number is likely to be much higher. And the rapist could be anyone. He could be rich, poor, educated, illiterate, a soldier, a priest, a politician, a doctor, an editor, and even judges\u2013 but always it is a man. We don\u2019t have a stereotype for the rapist. We don\u2019t even acknowledge the fact that the archetype of a rapist is a man. We go out of our way to delink the two words \u2013 rapist and male.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, yet we want a prototype of a rape victim. We expect her to be struck by the shame of what happened to her, bring everything in her life to a grinding halt. We need her to move from being a vivacious woman, to a woman burdened by the guilt of the consequences of her actions.&nbsp; Judge Kshama Joshi\u2019s observations were essentially giving voice to this social construct of how a rape victim will behave. And the questions that arise when she doesn\u2019t. How dare she not crumble with the shame, and wither away?&nbsp; How dare she have a life? How dare she not drown herself, or drop herself of the nearest mountain? How dare she laugh, find cheer in other things? How dare she not curl away and disappear for this thing she brought upon herself? How dare she exert agency, and not expect a backlash? How dare she. And this explains the verdict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>this appeared in the FPJ on 31st May 2021 The verdict in the Tarun Tejpal case that let him walk free, despite an apology on paper where he admits he violated the woman\u2019s consent, is astounding.
