Abstract

Science has changed all the ways of life at most. But in some aspects, we still have the same antique view. Rape is one of aspects where we have hardly changed. Modernity is in awkward situation. Rape is increasing with the pace of its beastly aptitude. We are merely curious as to how an incident of rape can be proven in a court of law. After a little research, We have learnt that background check, history, medical investigations and psychological evaluations are some of the methods used to prove/disprove the claim of rape. But unfortunately, the existing laws have failed to give actual justice to the rape victims in most cases. The procedures of proving an occurrence of rape is against the victims. It is high time we tried to have some practical solution to this curse. So, here we have tried to show the existing rape laws with their flaws and some of the recommendations by which a rape victim can get the justice without further hurdles.
