Ms. Mehbooba's thought process is on the right track to minimize rape threats to minors.  But it does not solve the rape threat from its roots.  The female victim is traumatized the same way irrespective of her age bracket.  Yes, the adult has a better understanding of what had happened to her and is able to cope with that situation with more perseverance  and responsibility than a minor victim.  But the  mental torture which stays with that victim is a life long issue she has to face.  One cann't remove that stigma.  Hence, this writer feels that Ms. Mehbooba ought to make this law including all rapes irrespective of female victims' age, and once the rape is proven, the rapists should be put behind bar for a long time without bail.  And, in the event of female rape victim dies, the rapist should be hanged too. Also, rapist's assets should be auctioned and money handed over the victim family. I wish this law becomes a national legislation to help female community in India.
