Expressing concern over misuse of the POCSO Act, the Supreme Court remarked that many cases arise from marital discords and consensual adolescent relationships, stressing the urgent need to spread legal awareness among boys and men to prevent wrongful criminalisation.
The Supreme Court today issued a notice in a PIL for increased awareness of anti-rape laws in schools and society. It responds to rising violence against women, emphasizing the need for effective communication of laws. The petition questions the efficacy of harsh punishments and highlights the importance of transforming societal attitudes through education and awareness.
