Gauhati High Court Rejects Plea for Compulsory Castration Law

The Gauhati High Court in India said no to a request.

Someone wanted the government to make a new law.

This law would have forced people who commit rape to be castrated.

The person also wanted a law like one in Andhra Pradesh.

This law would make trials faster and give harsh punishments.

The court said each state knows its own problems and solutions.

They cannot make Assam copy another state's laws.

The police in Assam said they are working hard to protect women and children.

They have special desks at police stations for women.
