Equality means giving equal rights, making equal rules, giving equal punishments irrespective of the gender of an individual. Let's make it a better place to live rather than playing discrimination politics. The latent and patent gender biases operating in the conceptualization, formulation and operation of criminal law. In its present form it excludes perspectives, interests and experiences of woman to a large extent by maintaining the private-public dichotomy and incorporation of patriarchal values. It also reinforces the typical stereotypical image of woman as weak and in need of protection. Women will get their rights only when we will stop thinking them as under privileged.Keywords
Adultery, Gender Inequality.

In crimes like rape and sexual abuse - which can leave permanent scars - the sensitivity shown while dealing with victims during the trail can directly affect the dispensation of justice in the end. Sensitivity during rape and sexual abuse case trails is not something the judiciary can claim to be its strength in India. The Union Cabinet recently approved a Bill, to be placed before Parliament, which tries to address the issue through an amendment to section 375, 376 and 509 IPC and the relevant sections of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act 1872.Keywords
