Bollywood
actress
Taapsee
Pannu
expressed
disdain
over
the
recent
reports
of
the
Supreme
Court
asking
a
rape
accused
if
he
is
willing
to
marry
the
survivor.
The
actress
who
is
quite
vocal
about
social
issues,
asked
if
the
survivor
was
asked
if
she
wanted
to
marry
her
rapist.
Taapsee
reacted
to
the
reports
and
said,
"Did
someone
ask
the
girl
this
question?
If
she
wants
to
marry
her
rapist
!!!???
Is
that
a
question
!!!???
This
is
the
solution
or
a
punishment?
Plain
simple
DISGUST!"
Meanwhile,
singer
Sona
Mohapatra
also
found
the
verdict
'disturbing'
and
added
on
Twitter,
"This
is
sickening
&
deeply
disturbing.
A
rapist
marrying
his
victim
has
been
a
gory
&
repulsive
bollywood
solution
in
the
past,
how
can
a
Supreme
Court
of
#India
fall
to
these
levels?"
Along
with
many
netizens,
Atul
Kasbekar
also
chimed
in
and
said,
"I
honestly
cannot
fathom
this
warped
form
of
'justice'.
Whatsoever.
Who
can
possibly
have
any
logic
as
to
how
this
can
be
any
sort
of
solution?" Take
a
look
at
more
reactions,
Ask
the
girl
if
she
wants
to
marry
her
rapist
dammit...
This
is
sooooo
appalling
&
nothing
but
pure
form
of
disgust.

Aghast
that
this
is
even
a
question
for
CJJ!!
and
he
specifies
"
However
Brutal"
...
Apology
to
the
women
of
our
country,
that
this
is
what
the
Supreme
court
offers
them
.
We
fail
them.

For
the
unversed,
a
Supreme
Court
bench
during
a
hearing
asked
a
rape
accused
if
he
intended
to
marry
the
victim.
He
said
he
had
wanted
to
do
so
earlier
but
is
married
to
someone
else
now.
The
government
employee
is
facing
charges
under
sections
of
the
Protection
of
Children
from
Sexual
Offences
(POCSO)
Act
for
allegedly
raping
a
minor
girl
repeatedly
when
she
was
in
the
ninth
standard
and
threatening
her.
The
court
has
now
provided
him
interim
protection
from
arrest
for
four
weeks,
during
which
he
can
seek
regular
bail
from
the
sessions
court.
