So there's a thread about the Penalties of Rape in the various nations of the NS World. I wish I could say I was shocked when I read some of the responses...half of them involved mandatory minimum sentences of over 20 years, castration, torture, or some combination of them all. Which...is heavy-handed, surely, but understandable enough when one takes the subjective position of the Victim in the situation.
But.
There is a problem with having such draconian punishments for such crimes. In lots of places around the world, the laws for what constitutes 'rape' are so vague or oddly worded that it becomes difficult to tell if it was truly 'rape' (which can be defined in as many ways as there are people to define it) and not some terrible misunderstanding or whatever else, even if there is evidence of the event at all (which is almost never). In some places, it is entirely too common for (intoxicated) people to have sex, and then one partner claims 'rape' as they regret the decision while sober (I'm looking at you, Westernized World!) And yet most of the people who responded on the other thread were fine with meting out such harsh punishments to those convicted of the crime...
So tell me - in the cases where someone has been wrongly accused of rape, and been punished as per the rules of your nation...what is there redress, and what happens to the Snake-in-the-Grass who claims to be a Victim, knowing that they were not? Does the false-Victim get their sentence? Does the Judge? Tell me, what do you think?
