Madras HC recommends castration as punishment for child rapists

The Madras High Court bench suggested Centre to consider castrating pedophiles, as the present law is ineffective in dealing with such criminals. Justice N Kirubakaran in an order said judiciary could not keep its hands folded and be a mute spectator, especially when the recent happenings of gang rape of children across India are reported. The Judge made these observations while dismissing a petition filed by a British national, seeking to quash the sex abuse proceedings against him in a lower court.<br/><br/>The bench also suggested the Union government to decide on introducing compulsory sex education for high school students. The Judge further said, denying youngsters correct and scientific information would lead them to acquire half-baked and incorrect knowledge from other sources, like Internet, friends and movies, creating misconception and doubts.
