Woman in India cuts off rapist’s penis and takes it to police station

https://unitedhumanists.com/2016/04/21/woman-in-india-cuts-off-rapists-penis-and-takes-it-to-police-station/

A 32-year-old Indian woman cut off her brother-in-law’s penis and handed it to police, claiming he had sexually assaulted her....

Police attempted to send medical support to the man, but he was found to have committed suicide....

She reportedly told police that she had used a sickle to cut off her brother-in-law’s penis as it was the only way to stop him attacking her.

According to Sidhi police spokesman Abid Khan, the woman has been charged with attempted murder.


Charged? They don't have self-defense over there?

This is not a crime of passion. This is cold logic. There was no support for this woman, no way to stop the daily murder of her soul. It came to a very instrumental solution. Remove the tool of oppression. She will sacrifice her physical body to the state, but this act was the one choice she could make, given the grain of personal power left her. I, for one, salute her.
