Letter Published in The National UAE on 1Feb 18 India should introduce stringent punishments for crimes against women
I refer to your article Eight-month-old girl raped in Delhi (January 30). It was painful to read. This brutal and heinous incident in the Indian capital is unacceptable. The girl's cousin is the alleged culprit and the crime of which he stands accused is worthy of an animal. The rise in India in the recent months of crimes such as these, especially against infants and children, is deeply shocking and profoundly saddening. The government should as a matter of urgent priority legislate to ensure there are stringent penalties for those convicted of these crimes. At the bare minimum, such crimes should carry a life sentence.
