It seems like the crime of raping a child below the age of 12 will now attract the death penalty. In a landmark move, the Union Cabinet, in a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved the ordinance on the death penalty for those convicted of raping children below the age of 12. The decision came a day after the Ministry of Women and Child Development told the Supreme Court that it was proposing the death penalty for those convicted of raping children.
