The Indian Penal Code provides strong legal protections for women who have been victimized in this way, and it is the responsibility of law enforcement agencies and the judiciary to ensure that justice is served. It is also important for communities to come together to raise awareness and promote a culture of respect and equality, where such behavior is not tolerated and victims feel empowered to speak out.
