Mumbai Man Arrested for Raping Woman Under Pretext of Marriage: A Rising Concern

Mumbai Man Arrested for Raping Woman Under 

Pretext of Marriage: A Rising Concern


In a recent disturbing incident, Mumbai police arrested a 26-year-old man from Ludhiana, Punjab, identified as Raghav Rajesh Agarwal, for allegedly raping a woman on the false pretext of marriage. This heinous act was reportedly committed multiple times between January 2023 and August 2024. The victim and the accused initially met at an exhibition in Delhi, but the alleged deception and abuse continued until the victim sought justice.


Growing Crimes Against Women: A National Crisis

This case is not isolated. Just last month, the Nalasopara police arrested another man, Firoz Niyazi Sheikh, who allegedly defrauded more than 20 women under the pretext of marriage. Sheikh used fake online profiles to target widowed women, robbing them of their money and jewelry before vanishing. His arrest was the result of a meticulous police operation involving an undercover profile on an online platform.


Such incidents highlight a growing and alarming trend of crimes against women in India, often exploiting trust and emotional vulnerabilities. Despite stringent laws, the frequency of these crimes raises questions about societal attitudes and the effectiveness of current preventive measures.


The Role of THE BHARATIYA NAGARIK SURAKSHA SANHITA, 2023

The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, which replaced the Indian Penal Code (IPC), aims to address crimes more effectively, including those against women. The BNSS lays down clear and stringent penalties for crimes like rape, fraud, and exploitation under false pretenses. However, the rising number of such crimes indicates a need for not just legal reforms but also societal change.


The BNSS emphasizes the importance of timely and thorough investigations, with specific provisions for crimes against women. It also stresses the need for better support systems for victims, including psychological counseling, legal aid, and protection from further harm.


Why Are Crimes Against Women Increasing


Several factors contribute to the rising incidence of crimes against women:


1. Societal Norms and Gender Inequality: Deep-rooted patriarchal attitudes often place women in vulnerable positions, making them targets of exploitation.

   

2. Lack of Awareness and Education: Many women are unaware of their legal rights, and the lack of proper education on these issues can prevent them from seeking help.


3. Inadequate Law Enforcement: While laws like BNSS are in place, the implementation and enforcement at the ground level often fall short. Delays in the judicial process and insufficient policing contribute to the persistence of these crimes.


4. Digital Exploitation: With the rise of online platforms, crimes have taken on new forms, such as creating fake profiles to deceive and exploit victims, as seen in the Nalasopara case.


The Path Forward: Awareness, Reform, and Vigilance

To curb these rising crimes, a multi-faceted approach is needed:


- Awareness Campaigns: Educating women about their rights and how to identify potential threats can empower them to protect themselves.

  

- Stricter Law Enforcement: The laws must be implemented rigorously, with swift action against perpetrators to deter future crimes.


- Societal Change: Addressing gender inequality and promoting respect for women in society is crucial for long-term change.


- Digital Literacy: As crimes increasingly move online, digital literacy programs can help individuals recognize and avoid scams and fraudulent activities.


Crimes against women are not just legal issues; they are deeply rooted societal problems. It is time for both society and the legal system to work together to create a safer environment for women, where they can live without fear and exploitation.
