        This is crazy!!! How can one do that to anyone let alone someone that young! This is a disgusting cultural thing!!! Instead of hanging, public castration might stop it in the future!

        Wild beasts don't need therapies or counseling, instead - public executions.

        Under 12? 13 or 14 is ok? Just take away the age limit. Talk about a Country with a social issue.

        Don't jump the gun. Punishment is only marginally less if 13/14.... Capital punishments should be minimum. I understand similar laws in US too.

        Well Bill, I understand US has a similar 'ridiculous' law 😀 In my view, more than such laws, important is to ensure that these laws are executed properly and people understand there's no escape from punishment, whether capital or not.

        I agree! Plenty of laws on the books are not enforced.

        The problem is SUPPORT and ENFORCEMENT. Victims are jailed until they withdraw accusations, they are not believed, harassed, threatened, police do not file charges, the list goes on. #culturalshift of #victimshaming and blaming the victim must be eliminated. BLAME THE RAPIST.

        Girls under 12 or boys too? I think it's children under 12.

        It is weird thinking for people who are against death penalty for anybody, suddenly jump up & say we want death penalty for rape where no murder is committed. Death penalty should be reserved for only to a person who actually kills a person and no one else.

        One thing for certain: No rapist who has been executed has ever committed another rape. Seems a fine approach.
