Absolutely not, being fast tracked in courts anywhere is hardly ever a good thing, and considering the state of the Indian police and court system, we are more likely to see poor people roughed up by the police and convicted for rape on shoddy evidence.

Unfortunately they are contending with a system that pretty much doesn't investigate or prosecute rape cases at all, blames the victims for their rapes because of their clothing, job, or even the fact that they have a boyfriend, harasses women who report assaults, and so on. A woman just died of internal injuries after an iron rod was shoved inside her after a gang-rape, and THEN the police began investigating, after loud public outcry (this is probably what the photo is from). Not that fast-tracking is a good idea, but feelings are strong right now.

  • I'm right, because I accept that I can be wrong.

And taking important decisions about the justice system should really NOT be done when feelings are strong. Rational discourse right now would be... somewhat lacking.

That said, actually prosecuting rapist would be good.

Quote from: Jordan Duram
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.
