India’s Consent Problem, ft. an Allahabad HC Bail Order to a Rape Accused | The Quint

How Not to Get Raped — A Guide for Women, by Indian Judges. Spoiler: It’s impossible. But the courts still expect you to try. We go through real High Court judgments from across India that tell women how not to invite their own rape — and fail to hold perpetrators accountable. From moral policing disguised as legal reasoning, to the ever-present disbelief in women’s testimonies, this is a look at a system that often doesn’t understand consent at all. We also bust the myth that “80% of rape cases are fake” — a number that’s often thrown around to silence survivors. The truth? It’s fiction. And the data proves it.
