How can we even debate on this Juveline topic?

My angst increases as i keep reading every rape incident accused family raising a query that the so & so accused was a minor etc and hate to see the debates going on forums , papers and media on whether it is okay to reduce punishment for an accused on a rape incident citing he is a minor !!! Ridiculous i say -just think if your daughter or wife was the victim -would you still accept this verdict? And what is worse that the minor had the B**** to rape and why not get punished - now why is the age becoming a factor to support them .If this is the case then every rape accused has a chance to go scott free as given how money can buy everything in this day -they can easily buy a age proof id to show they are a minor! Minor or Major -Rape is the most cruel & heinous crime a man can commit and this deserves a capital punishment that should teach him a lesson of his life time for comitting the worst act of his life !!! My heart goes out to Nirbhaya's parents who wear in tears to hear the verdict and will really pray that they fight until they get justice for Nirbhaya!
