Do you think that a woman who was sexually RAPED by a MAN has the right to 'pardon' off the rapist?

Question

OR do you still think society(and the legal system) should have something to say abouit it? I mean we don't want someone with a rapist mentality walking around raping other woman.

Some people may wish to just take MONEY from the rapist. But yes that may not serve justice if the rapist is going to go DO IT AGAIN to someone else

Answer 1

Well, if she doesn't want to press charges I suppose that's her prerogative. It would probably be because she doesn't want to face the trauma of a trial or fears not being believed (sadly a reality in most rape cases in the UK at least). I think prosecution should still go ahead, but they could try to involve the woman as little as possible if that's what she wants.

Black Sabbath: There is no such thing as an 'almost consenual rape'. All rape is assault and all rape is equally repugnant.

Answer 2

In the sense that it is her body and soul that has been violated she should absolutely be the ONLY one who can pardon the man and that on the level of" I forgive you!".Then yes!!!
There are still plenty of judges in the world that think that a fine and a slap on the wrist is quite enough trouble for being a naughty boy!
Let me assure you that where I live several men have been given the opportunity to pay a 300 dollars fine and walk away without any other punishment.
But in the sense of pardoning, as in telling the justice ministry that they do not need to continue the case - absolutely not!!!
We probably need to re write the rules for how such cases are handled. Again in recent cases where I live, women have often been tried by public opinion well before their rapist comes to court and who wouldn't shy away from that?
Justice for all has to mean justice and dignity for all or it isn't worth even talking about.

Answer 3

I think the system is good just for the fact it can protect the next woman that may be raped by the same man. I don't think you'll find that a rapist would stop if he was let off because the first person dropped charges.

Answer 4

Definitely not. While the woman could offer a statement to the court pleading for leniency the man, in raping her, has broken the law of the country and must be punished for it. If the woman was allowed to do this what would she say to the next victim? Rapists rarely only rape once.

Answer 5

i've got heard and study numerous articles on why adult males rape. first of all, they might desire to by no ability be referred to as "adult males" because of the fact a actual guy might by no ability rape absolutely everyone. they're cowards. a actual guy will guard or rescue a woman, no longer harm her. I study that many rapists fairly hate all women individuals and thanks to this they rape. so as that they might watch her go through. regularly it comes from having a very controlling mom who abused them. Or a spouse or lady buddy who made them experience silly. It has no longer something to do with intercourse. ninety 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous women individuals and little toddlers get raped too. the assumption makes me so unwell even nonetheless it occurs. that's scrumbags like that who might desire to be castrated and then made to consume their *****! each undertaking might properly be diverse. sometimes the guy is mentally unwell. A cousin of mine became raped yet she did no longer enable it wreck her existence. She have been given counseling and moved on. you do no longer might desire to enable some coward wreck your existence. Get all the assist you want. And enable's no longer ignore adult males who're raped. It occurs lots extra regularly that we expect of. yet adult males won't checklist it as much as women individuals. and that they actually need to. It wasn't their fault. some stupid idiots think of a woman is "inquiring for it" if she clothing a definite way. No woman desires to be violently attacked. And rape is an act of violence. actual adult males understand all this. yet you unwell scumballs accessible actually must be castrated. you do no longer need to have a dick because of the fact which you at the instant are not a actual guy first of all. some human beings say castration would not do any solid because of the fact those low existence dirtbags will nevertheless rape yet with products. Then we would desire to continuously shop all of them in penitentiary or execute them. that's the final way!

Answer 6

Legally I believe if she was the only witness she can choose not to press charges. If she thinks it unlikely that he will repeat the offense I can see where she might want to put it behind her rather than going through the trauma of a legal battle.

However, if there is reason to think that he is a potential repeat offender I think it is her moral obligation to press charges, despite how it may hurt her emotionally.

Answer 7

Do you mean as opposed to a woman being raped by a woman?
As to her 'pardoning' the rapist...her pardon doesn't satisfy the law,which is obligated to prosecute anyone who commits a felony.

Answer 8

Our legal system has a responsibility to society at large to punish criminals. In court, a criminal case is not referred to as "Smith vs. Jones", it is "The People" or "The State" vs. the accused. Under your theory, people could be frightened or blackmailed into "pardoning" those who have committed crimes against them.

Answer 9

Because rape is defined as sex without consent, the woman must support the charge to establish lack of consent.

If she says there was consent, then the prosecution cannot proceed.

Answer 10

the law is the law, if a person committs rape they will be prosecuted no matter if the victim wants to pardon them or not
