The bill calls for the setting up of special courts for speedy trials and chemical neuter of the convict with the consent of the convict. According to Dawn newspaper, the Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill 2021 Bill was passed along with 33 other bills in the joint session of Parliament on Wednesday.
The newspaper reported that it wants to amend the Pakistan Penal Code, 1860 and the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898. According to the Bill, “Chemical castration is a process duly notified by rules made by the PM, whereby an individual is rendered incapable of sexual intercourse for any period of his life, as may be prescribed.That may be prescribed by the court through the administration of drugs which shall be done through a notified medical board.” Jamaat-e-Islami MP Mushtaq Ahmed opposed the bill and called it un-Islamic and against Sharia.
He said that the rapist should be hanged in public, but there is no mention of neuter in Sharia. Chemically neuter is the use of drugs to reduce sexual function. According to media reports, it is a legal form of punishment in South Korea, Poland, the Czech Republic and some states of the US. Critics say that less than four percent of sexual assault or rape cases in Pakistan result in a conviction. This article was generated through various agencies.Latest
