Crime Cannot Be Legalised

A rape, whether or not within the bounds of the wedlock, is a heinous crime. Marriage is a sacred institution. And this institution goes beyond the aridity of a mere contractual relationship. And none can allow people the liberty to so sanctify a criminal offence like rape by bringing it under the fold of marriage. A rapist, who does not know the meaning of respecting the honour of a woman - a fellow human being, can ill become a husband, all the more so when the brutality extended upto the blinding of the victim.
