Delhi rapist says victim shouldn't have fought back

Some of the quotes.

"A decent girl won't roam around at nine o'clock at night. A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy," he said.


"Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes. About 20% of girls are good."


People "had a right to teach them a lesson" he suggested - and he said the woman should have put up with it.


"When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they'd have dropped her off after 'doing her', and only hit the boy," he said.


Chillingly, he went on: "The death penalty will make things even more dangerous for girls. Now when they rape, they won't leave the girl like we did. They will kill her. Before, they would rape and say, 'Leave her, she won't tell anyone.' Now when they rape, especially the criminal types, they will just kill the girl. Death."

I spoke to two lawyers who had defended the murderers of the 23-year-old student at their trial, and what they said was extremely revealing.


"In our society, we never allow our girls to come out from the house after 6:30 or 7:30 or 8:30 in the evening with any unknown person," said one of the lawyers, ML Sharma.


"You are talking about man and woman as friends. Sorry, that doesn't have any place in our society. We have the best culture. In our culture, there is no place for a woman."


The other lawyer, AP Singh, had said in a previous televised interview: "If my daughter or sister engaged in pre-marital activities and disgraced herself and allowed herself to lose face and character by doing such things, I would most certainly take this sort of sister or daughter to my farmhouse, and in front of my entire family, I would put petrol on her and set her alight."


He did not disown that comment when I put it to him. "This is my stand," he said. "I still today stand on that reply.

One of the men I interviewed, Gaurav, had raped a five-year-old girl. I spent three hours filming his interview as he recounted in explicit detail how he had pulled her knickers off but left her dress on, muffled her screams with his big hand, but left her nose free to breathe.


He described, in vivid detail, the child's huge terrified eyes and casually pointed out that "she didn't even know what was being inserted".


He was sitting throughout the interview and had a half-smile playing on his lips throughout - his nervousness in the presence of a camera, perhaps. At one point I asked him to tell me how tall she was. He stood up, and with his eerie half-smile indicated a height around his knees.


When I asked him how he could cross the line from imagining what he wanted to do, to actually doing it - given her height, her eyes, her screams - he looked at me as though I was crazy for even asking the question and said: "She was beggar girl. Her life was of no value."

BBC News - Delhi rapist says victim shouldn't have fought back


Nothing surprises me anymore about this country. Absolutely pathetic people waste so much oxygen, not regretting killing a woman after raping her is just lowest of low. I wished that Interview person just shot him.


Person who has no regret killing a woman, person who thinks its ok to rape a 5 year old because she is beggar's kid and no value for her life and a lawyer who think it's ok to kill girl who roams around after 7.

You know this is disgusting. I am absolutely appalled by the judiciary of this country to even consider giving this monster a trial. It is horrendous. This man should be shot, not ****** interviewed.

Refreshing to see so much generalization and lack of respect for the legal system...
