Rape in its entirety is a violation. A violation that is inexcusable that leaves victims in situations where they can pose to be a threat to their own life and can destroy the individual emotionally and physically and is usually described with the term “scarred for life”. Before recent times, rape was targeted to women and children by males. The nature of rape was also strict and could only be performed by the genital organs of both species. Rape could also not be carried out by a husband to his wife as well, and this amongst many others led to injustice. Seemingly, the society has evolved and the position which was before is no more, now not just women and children face this violation but every individual irrespective of gender can be a victim of rape and although the law has evolved there are still loose ends that need to be tied.
