metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In the unique criminal law model of India, a hybrid combination of principles and institutions
  of the three legal systems, one of the most odious crimes involves encroaching on the honor,
  dignity, and sexual integrity of a woman. The authors aim to analyze the criminological principles
  of the scale and simultaneous latency of violent sexual crimes in India. Cultural and civilizational
  incentives for the prevalence of rape have been identified, including the historical
  practice of male polygamy, early child marriage, subordination of a woman in the family, her
  domestic retreat and “eternal widowhood”, as well as a “gender imbalance” and girls’ infanticide
  in traditional Hindu families. From the point of view of the systematics of crimes, Indian
  criminologists distinguish more than ten different categories of “feminine torts”, including
  sexual assault, are classified as a group of “crimes of passion” (Articles 354, 375–376, 509 of
  the Indian Penal Code 1860). From the point of view of elemental composition of rape, the objective
  test is dominant (peno-vaginal penetration) and consists of six alternative conditions
  of a constitutive element “women’s consent”. The recent innovations in the IPC 1860, which
  expanded the definition of rape and legalized the concept of “custodial rape” from the judicial
  practice (Tukaram v. State of Muharashtra 1978), as a special composition of sexual violence
  using official position. There is a significant expansion of the legislative definition of “violence
  against women” in the family and at office, as well as the toughening of punishments for violent
  acts against women, up to the expansion of the grounds for the use of the death penalty.
