In the case of Monika Sharma v. Mukesh Bhagal, the court disposed of the appeal for annulment of the marriage of Monika Sharma due to the bar of limitation.

The appellant is a graduate of Master of Science from Singhania University in Rajasthan and is not known the age, education, and occupation of the respondent. She is an officer at the Union Bank of India in Mumbai. The appellant and respondent, both are Hindus. Monika Sharma, the appellant knew the respondent since the year 2000.

In the appeal, the appellant asserted that in the year 2003 when she was pursuing her 10th-grade studies and was of 14-15 years of age, the respondent made his first physical contact under duress with her and clicked obscene photographs. The respondent had threatened her he would leak her obscene photographs if she told anyone about his actions. Monika was suffering silently as she comes from a very religious family in the State of Haryana where the Khap Panchayat is practiced.

This continued till 2008 when she moved to pursue her higher studies. When the appellant returned in 2010, the respondent threatened to defame her and her family and disfigure her by throwing acid on her if she didn’t marry him.

In 2011, when the appellant was working as a teacher at a Coaching Centre, the respondent slapped her in front of everyone just because the appellant had refused to go out with him. The appellant had secured a job as a single-window operator at a branch of Punjab National Bank located in the village Dhanora and was staying in a PG. The respondent constantly pressurized her for marrying him taking the advantage of her situation.

On December 28th, 2011, the respondent called the appellant to come out of her office, or else he would create a fiasco there. On going out of the office the respondent took the appellant’s phone, pulled her into the car, and gave a prasad to eat. The prasad was spiked and the appellant wasn’t aware of it, but, later, realized it. After eating the spiked prasad, the appellant had become helpless and a silent observer of the events unfolding with her. She remembered that on the way the respondent picked up his friends, took her to a mandir, clicked some photos, and made her sign some blank papers. And on the next day, 29th December 2011, the respondent dropped her at her office. The respondent had threatened her not to reveal the incidents or else he would harm her and her family.

In March 2012, the appellant shifted to Mumbai as she got the opportunity to work at Union Bank of India, the respondent followed her to Mumbai and harassed her continuously to come and live with him. When the appellant refused all his proposals, he again threatened to leak her photographs. In April 2012, the respondent left Mumbai after threatening the appellant that if she does not marry him, he would kill her parents in Haryana. The respondent came back to Mumbai and started extorting money from the appellant. The respondent continued his force, abuse, and harassment. His family started exerting pressure on her to marry him, so the appellant informed them about the respondent’s behavior and actions, still, the family did not pay any heed and pressured her to marry him. The appellant claimed the respondent also sexually and physically abused her once which left her mentally sick for some time.

In November 2013, gaining courage, she canceled her cards as she had given them to the respondent for use. On December 3rd, 2013, the appellant informed her parents about the incidents and the events following which the parents filed a complaint against the respondent. Upon this, the respondent filed an application for restitution of conjugal rights in the Court of Civil Judge at Bilaspur on 17th January 2014 under section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act.
This was the first time the appellant came to know that the respondent purported to be her supposed husband. The appellant had not gone forward with her complaint, but in July 2014, with her lawyer, she filed a complaint and went forward with it. A crime was registered under sections 376, 366, 354, 506 (2) of the Indian Penal Code and 9 of 25 under section 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 against the respondent and she had filed her statement at Bilaspur.

The court stated that the appellant was suffering since 2003 when she was of 14-15 years, and when she was of 18 years in 2007, she did not file a complaint and kept silent. After 6 years, the appellant has filed her complaint. There are just her bare words and no verification from any source, including her parents, brothers, sisters, or Union Bank of
India personnel. There is also no evidence of alleged extortion of a considerable amount by manipulating her debit card, which might have easily been obtained as electronic evidence. There is also no evidence of a medical evaluation of the appellant, who claims that the respondent sexually exploited, and subjected her to unnatural intercourse.
The court said that the overall evidence is improbable, unbelievable, and unacceptable.

The judge held that once the appellant came to know that she was forcefully taken to a mandir, the force and fraud ceased to exist. If the aforementioned truth was known on December 29, 2011, the petition might have been presented within a year. Nothing stopped her, and thus the bar under sub-section-2 of Section 12 of the Act operates in the relevant facts and circumstances.

The appeal made is without any substance and stands dismissed.

The Kerala High Court recently ruled that a Magistrate/Court must use its discretion when exercising the powers granted to it by Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.PC). According to Justice Kauser Edappagath, courts should not simply forward all complaints they receive like a post office when taking cognizance of offenses or ordering an investigation into any cognizable case. As a result, it was emphasized that the powers granted under Section 156(3) must be exercised with caution and discretion. “The Magistrate/Court also has a duty to protect the accused’s interests because, under S.156(3) Cr.Pc., the accused has no right of hearing during the investigation or forwarding of the complaint to the police.”

In JIBIN JOSEPH VS. UNION TERRITORY OF LAKSHADWEEP & ANR., an Additional Public Prosecutor of a District and Sessions Court in Lakshadweep had petitioned the High Court to quash a Sessions Court order which directed the police investigation into a complaint filed against him under the POCSO Act and the Juvenile Justice Act. The 2nd respondent, in this case, is a lawyer who practices in Lakshadweep and was representing an accused in another POCSO case in which a minor girl was kidnapped and sexually assaulted.

Initially, the 2nd respondent posted on Facebook that the petitioner was constantly contacting the minor survivor and was involved in her disappearance. A case, however, was filed against the second respondent for revealing the survivor’s identity in the post.

Following that, the second respondent filed a slew of complaints alleging the same thing. The Station House Officer, however, did not file a report. Soon after, a private complaint was filed before the Sessions Court which was forwarded to the SHO for Section 156 inquiry (3). The petitioner in this case is contesting this order. The petitioner’s attorney, S. Rajeev, stated that the Sessions Court merely submitted the complaint automatically without giving it any thought. He claimed that the 2nd respondent’s complaint was intentionally filed with the intent to “wreak personal vengeance” on the petitioner.

However, Attorney Vijin Karthik for the 2nd respondent contended that the Magistrate was not compelled to undertake a roving inquiry regarding all of the claims in the complaint at the time of transferring the same to the police for investigation in accordance with Section 156 (3).

The Court emphasized that the accused must have sexual intent and actual control or charge over the minor in order to commit the offence specified in Section 75 of the JJ Act. The SHO’s report, which said that the inquiry had determined the charges to be without merit, was also looked at by the Judge. It was observed:

“It is settled that the powers under S.156(3) of the Cr.PC cannot be exercised casually or mechanically but are required to be exercised judiciously…….The Magistrate/Court is not merely functioning as a “post office” in forwarding anything and everything filed in the form of a complaint. The Magistrate/Judge should certainly scrutinize the allegations in the complaint to satisfy himself that it discloses the necessary ingredients of the offence for which investigation is intended to be ordered and to find out whether it is a matter to be forwarded to the police to collect materials for a successful prosecution against the accused.”

The High Court quashed the order of the sessions court to prevent sheer abuse of the process of law.

INTRODUCTION

‘Femina’, a Latin word for a woman, is the root of the English word “feminist.” But what exactly does feminism suggest? Due to individual people’s views, there are various responses to this question. The fundamental definition of feminism is a compilation of movements to determine, create, and protect equal rights for women in the fields of economy, education, politics, and other fields, as well as social rights for women with equal possibilities. An advocate of feminism may be a male, woman, or transgender person because it is a gender equality ideology. What is feminism jurisprudence, though, is a completely different subject that needs to be addressed.

Feminist jurisprudence, commonly referred to as feminist legal theory, is founded on the idea that the legal system has played a significant role in the historical subordination of women. Feminist legal theory has two objectives. First, feminist jurisprudence tries to explain how the law contributed to women’s past inferior status. Second, feminist legal theory is dedicated to enhancing the situation of women through a revision of the law and its treatment of gender.

THREE MAJOR SCHOOLS

Feminism promotes equal rights for both men and women. Feminist legal systems differ from one another. There are three major schools of feminist jurisprudence –

1. Traditional or Liberal Feminism

It says that women are just as reasonable as men. Hence, they should also be given equal opportunities to make choices.

2. Cultural Feminist

In this type of school of feminism, the main focus is on the variances between the two genders. The thinkers appreciate those variances and propound that Women place more value on interpersonal connections, whilst males place more value on legal and logical abstractions. Giving women’s moral voices of compassion and communal ideals equal recognition is the aim of this school.

3. Radical or Dominant Feminism

The main focus of this school is on inequality. They propounded that the men dominated the women’s class and this results in the situation of gender inequality. Radical feminists see gender as a matter of power. Radical feminists admonish us to reject conventional methods that use maleness as their point of reference. They contend that women’s differences from men must be taken into consideration while constructing sexual equality.

APPROACHES TO FEMINIST PHILOSOPHY OF LAW

1. The Liberal Equality Theory

Liberal feminism is a particular philosophy that deals with achieving equality between men and women and primarily emphasizes the ability of an individual to end discrimination against women. Liberal feminists want to empower people to follow their intuition and use their skills to make men and women equal in the eyes of the law and society. Their views on freedom are the main distinction between modern liberals and bygone liberal feminism.  To attain equality in democratic liberal countries, a contemporary liberal feminist maintains that women’s freedom and political autonomy must be promoted. A former liberal feminist, on the other hand, asserts that feminism’s political duty is limited to opposing laws that treat men and women differently, and that they have already succeeded in this objective. Despite this catfight, their ultimate goal is to unite women together so they may speak up and create enormous amounts of awareness.

The Sexual Difference Theory

Arguments for gender feminism are included in the theory of sexual difference. It makes the case that the causes of women’s mistreatment are intertwined with nature, psychology, and culture. It claims that there are many ways in which the cultural traits associated with femininity are superior and more potent than those associated with masculinity and that men and women should thus weave their reasoned webs.

2. The Dominance Theory

Dominance feminism is a philosophy held by feminists that reject the perspectives of difference feminism and equality feminism. The feminists who scream for equality want women to be given systematic equal access to all social, cultural, and legal male privileges. Feminists, on the other hand, promote gender diversity and call for women to get distinct legal and social protection in order to make up for historical injustices. The dominance theory, which contends that male social power is the outcome of well-documented disparity between men and women, in some respects supports feminists who fight for gender discrimination. Dominance feminism condemns men’s concerted efforts for women’s subordinate status in society. It asserts that men physically, sexually, and socially dominated women. They subjugated women socially by objectifying them, enforcing patriarchal rules on them, and denying them any legal rights. In terms of sexual harassment, they threatened to force them into sex, used catcalls, took advantage of them at work, and shaped them into simple sex objects. According to a Hindu shloka, “naari taran ki Adhikari”—which means that males should physically abuse women more—a woman is deserving of being beaten. The term “dominance feminism” is sometimes used to refer to Catharine A. MacKinnon.

3. The Anti-Essential Theory

 A cluster of fundamental qualities that are both sufficient and necessary for objects to be identical might be referred to as essentialism. To further comprehend essentialism, it includes two steps: the first is summarizing the things inside a single concept in order to distinguish between objects by taking into account their distinctive parts, and the second is classifying them as belonging to that concept. A loose definition of feminist essentialism is the belief that all women share certain psychological and biological characteristics, such as attractiveness, sympathy, fostering, and supportiveness, which are the origins of the idea that all women are fundamentally the same. According to essentialism, every woman has the same innate qualities. Simple opposition to this presumption is anti-essentialism. Anti-essentialists reject the idea that the definition of women should be based on fixed characteristics like genetics and psychology since doing so prevents women from changing and makes it harder for society to recognize them as individuals.

4. The Post-Modern Theory

Other feminist views are unique from postmodern feminism. It starts with the assumption that contemporary feminists have overlooked acknowledging differences within each gender because they are too preoccupied with the distinctions between men and women. Furthermore, it contends that gender was created through talks based on perception, which we eventually absorbed as time went on. In addition to this, postmodern feminists assert that the main reason why there are different forms of patriarchy is because of the social traits of women. The intersectionality hypothesis, which aims to look at how social, biological, and cultural classes simultaneously interact with one another, was used to frame these opinions.

FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS

When it comes to equality, our constitution has given us certain rights and clauses that preserve the environment of positivist equality. When read in conjunction with Article 12, Articles 14 and 15¹ represent the ideas of our constitution’s authors and further protect women against gender discrimination. According to the reading of Article 14 given the gender equality perspective, all people, including women, have an equal right to protection under the law throughout the Indian subcontinent. Men and women should be treated equally under the law and by the country under similar situations.

However, Article 15² shields women from all forms of prejudice. Clause 3 of Article 15 grants the State the authority to create any additional provisions for women and children in order to maintain the idea of equal protection of the law in situations where the same treatment would have been accorded but was not. This clause is recognized in light of the historical social and economic disadvantages faced by Indian women, which resulted in their reduced participation in the nation’s socio-economic activities on an equal basis. The main motivation for the provision is to give women a voice, end their socioeconomic disadvantage, and unquestionably empower them.

In the decision-making process, democracy unquestionably gives everyone an equal chance. Since they make up over half of the population and are free citizens, women are theoretically capable of resolving their disputes through democratic channels. However, they are ineffective participants in the democratic game because of socioeconomic factors and cultural norms. A pro-woman and anti-subordination interpretation of the Constitution and legislation must be adopted, and this provision was further developed in light of positive discrimination, given the drawbacks of the democratic process and the dangers of parliamentary majoritarianism.

The court discussed the need for regulations to stop the dominance analysis techniques that are present in our patriarchal society in the case of Bodhisattwa Gautama v. Subhra Chakraborty.³ A woman, in our country, unfortunately, belongs to a class or group that is in a disadvantageous position due to several social barriers and impediments and has, as a result, been the target of tyranny at the hands of men. The court held that certain laws help to ameliorate the position of women in society and that they are also very constitutionally valid as they come under the legitimate heading of positive discrimination, which is fundamental to our country’s founding principles.

DIRECTIVE PRINCIPLES OF STATE POLICY

Gender equality is likewise included in Articles 39(a)⁴ and 39(d)⁵ of the Directive principle of state policy. While the second article advocates equal compensation for equal work for men and women, the first article discusses the equal right of men and women to an adequate means of subsistence. Maintaining a balance between individualism and socialism is the basic tenet of the Directive principle of state policy. To address the issue of women in the postmodernist era, the DPSP has taken all necessary steps.

Due to their long-sightedness, the framers were able to consider the challenges that women would have faced as society’s patterns changed. To further bolster this claim, Article 51(a)⁶ discusses a clause that forbids actions that are disrespectful to women’s dignity. The idea that the constitution has disregarded the position of women is unavoidable when looking at the statutes collectively. Our constitution’s drafters undoubtedly made an effort to include as many clauses as possible that, if absent, would have led to discrimination.

CONCLUSION

Men and women have always been seen as separate from one another as well as having different social statuses and levels of authority. Through some clever contrasts, such as behavioral traits, women have been purposefully portrayed as the antithesis of men. For example, men are assumed to be competitive, rational, aggressive, intelligent, political, and dominant leaders, while women are assumed to be fragile, emotional, domestic, caretaker, and underlings. Every political and economic organization, from educational to religious institutions, to beauty standards and relationships, has consistently followed some variation of these presumptions. Sadly, the law is not an exception. As a result, cultures recognized the need for feminist jurisprudence, and in order to reach this goal, feminists stepped up, questioned male-insight laws or practices, provided examples of illegitimate patriarchy, and provided guidance on how to build “equality” for women globally.

This article is written by Prerna Pahwa, a student at Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies, New Delhi.

The highest praise given to a king in antiquated history books was that he was just, helped the poor, and punished the wicked. Law-abiding citizens in those days desperately needed protection from powerful lawbreakers. The state’s authority is well established in modern times. While it is true that many crimes go unnoticed, no criminal has a chance of openly defying society. If we read about a man being hunted in the country, we give the poor wretch at most two weeks because we know that by then, the armed forces of the law will undoubtedly have caught up with him. But because of its overwhelming strength over an individual delinquent, it can afford to be kind. Making an effort to comprehend the offender is the least we can do for him. In fact, any wrongdoer who is not simply a born criminal or an incurable maniac is usually only a step away from being a decent person.

Knowing how a crime was committed requires being aware of a criminal’s mental state and deciphering his thoughts. As a result, criminal psychologists play a part. They dissect the incident’s emotional, personal, mental, and societal components. Lawyers frequently interact with criminals to establish a virtual relationship with them and work together to locate the crime scene. Together, criminal psychologists and attorneys work to understand the traits, language, actions, and biases of criminals. Criminal profiling is the official name for it.

WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGY?

As psychology strives to scientifically study behavior, it has undergone significant transformation and diversification. There are now more focused paradigms in place of the globalization and liberalization paradigms that were very popular in the 20th century. Diversification is becoming increasingly necessary in order to comprehend the theory and application of particular aspects. At the same time, a holistic approach is necessary and cannot be disregarded. Thus, it is clear that the notion that interdisciplinary, multicultural, and eclectic approaches are more practical is exemplary.

Governmental organizations must intensify their focus on enhancing legal services as a result of the rising crime rate. Finding the causes of crime, understanding the psychology of criminals, and being able to design interventions at the individual and social levels are also crucial if society is to improve. In sum, it is clear that in order to strengthen community involvement and reduce crime, governmental organizations must intensify their focus on enhancing legal services as a result of the rising crime rate.

From a single murder to a massacre! Have you ever considered the causes of the Holocaust? How can a single person, like Hitler, order the killing of millions of people? And discriminate against people and give orders to kill them based on factors such as caste, religion, race, and political beliefs. Without hesitation, his troops carried out his orders. Crime history is full of cases that raise many questions that can only be clarified by comprehending how people behave. Criminal psychology is important to control the growth of crime and to be able to assist those in need, not just to understand criminal minds or predict criminal behavior.

WHAT IS CRIME?

According to the law, a crime is an act that is either committed or disregarded in violation of public laws. It is also referred to as a crime. There are two parts to it- Mens Rea and Actus Reus. Crime can be characterized as an act that infringes on people’s rights, has an effect on society as a whole, inspires or influences sociopaths and psychopaths, and fosters a culture of mistrust and fear in society.

“It can be challenging to prove that a crime has been committed.” It is situation-based in addition to being contextual. When a soldier in a war situation kills a member of the opposing army, it is regarded as a display of bravery and pride. But it’s regarded as a crime by the general public. It is crucial to take into account whether a civilian crime was committed in self-defense, while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or under social pressure. As a result, while the legal definition of crime emphasizes an action that violates the law, the normative definition of crime emphasizes an action that violates our moral standards. To sum up, it is ambiguous to categorize an act as a crime because there is no clear definition of what constitutes a crime. Only in relation to the social culture, legal system, and context of the act can the meaning of crime be understood.

RELATION BETWEEN THE TWO: CRIMINAL PSYCHOLOGY

Criminal psychology is the study of criminal behavior, whereby the term “behavior” includes personality, attitude, physiology, learning, motivation, thinking and other cognitive factors that contribute to the act of crime or criminal intentions. Police work also heavily utilizes psychology. Through the examination of a crime scene, investigative psychology, and other behavioral sciences, forensic psychologists or criminal anthropologists assist in identifying the suspects. These professionals are frequently used by law enforcement agencies to gain insight into the minds of potential offenders by determining the offender’s most likely personality type, way of life, and peculiarities.

Criminal psychology aims to control criminal behavior in addition to understanding criminal behavior. Over time, a deeper understanding of psychology, human behavior, and psychiatry have contributed to several important shifts in legal scholars’ perspectives on the law as well as the way the criminal justice system handles mentally ill individuals. Counseling and intervention are therefore crucial for both criminal and victim victims. The scientific study of psychology also involves and incorporates a great deal of research. Thanks to behavioral research, psychologists and legal authorities can better understand crime, criminal intent, and criminal behavior. In the future, both criminal and civil liability will inevitably change due to these complex research practices.

THEORIES ON HUMAN NATURE AND CRIME

Assumptions about human nature are based on three main domains, which are as follows :

1. Conformity perspective: Humans are fundamentally good, conforming beings who are greatly influenced by the attitudes and values of the society in which they live, claims Merton R. K. ‘s theory. This theory makes the supposition that people are creatures of conformity who desire to act morally. What society deems to be right is what is right. Influence from friends, acquaintances, family and other social networks can assist in finding the right thing. Delinquency and crime happen when there is a “perceived discrepancy” between the objectives cherished and materialist values and the accessibility of legal means. High-stress individuals and groups are forced to choose whether to uphold or disregard laws and norms; as a result, they withdraw, conform, or rebel.

2. Non-conformist Perspective: According to this theory, people are essentially illegitimate creatures who, given the chance, would disregard social norms and commit crimes. According to Travis Hirschi’s social control theory, crime and delinquency occur when a person has few or no ties to normative or conventional standards, which indicates a problem with social checks and balances. According to this theory, human nature is inherently “bad” or “antisocial.”

3. According to the third viewpoint, people are essentially “neutral” at birth and pick up all of their beliefs, behaviors, and tendencies from their social environment. This theory contends that social interaction with others is where criminal behavior is learned. Criminal behavior is not brought on by mental illness, emotional instability, or inborn goodness or evilness. People pick up messages from others who were perceived as criminals and use those messages to learn how to commit crimes. This theory is aptly summarized by the axiom that “bad company breeds bad behavior.”

PURPOSE OF CRIMINAL PSYCHOLOGY

Criminal psychology aims to comprehend criminal behavior in order to be able to manage and change it. By creating a psychological profile of repeat offenders and looking into the causes and consequences of their behavior, a criminal psychologist is needed to support police and legal authorities during a case’s investigation. Understanding the offenders and the police officers working the case is important. Human error and resource constraints frequently prevent or delay personnel from accessing case-related information. In order to help investigators deal with cases of mental illness where people are involved in crime, criminal psychologists should also develop guidelines and increase their knowledge.

Criminal psychology also seeks to understand how to resolve problems that emerge between the investigator, offender, and victim during a case investigation. In addition to providing counseling to offenders and victims, it aims to maintain and develop effective interventions for mental health professionals. If schools and colleges are involving students in activities that improve their mental wellbeing and deter them from engaging in violent acts and behaviors, then the role of a criminal psychologist is also understood. Criminal psychology is a specialized field. It’s critical to comprehend the mental health of young people who have engaged in antisocial behavior while in high school or college, as well as how to help them reintegrate into society.

Criminal psychology aims to comprehend developmental problems that could result in criminal behavior. Criminal psychologists have attempted to understand, test, and develop theories to understand developmental issues that may lead to criminal intent and behavior in a lot of the past research that has been done. Criminal psychology deals with and aids in the resolution of cases involving disputes over child custody and marital and family disputes. It’s also important to remember that criminal psychologists are obligated to examine and confirm the mental illness certifications provided by offenders. additionally to offer treatments and counseling to help them get better.

Enrolments are open for the FREE Online Course on Making Successful Decisions through the Strategy, Law & Ethics Model by University of the University of Michigan.

ABOUT

This course opens with an example of a leadership decision: President Barack Obama’s strategic decision to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. The course then shows how the three elements can be used to prevent a tragedy when making a personal decision. The rest of the course focuses on making successful business decisions.  In essence, to achieve business and career success, you must create value (strategy) and manage risk (law) in a responsible manner (ethics). Because the Law Pillar plays a central role in the three pillar model, the course includes practical legal briefings (with many examples) on the key elements of business success.
