&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
President Pranab Mukherjee has given his assent to the tougher anti-rape bill, bringing into force the new legislation which provides for stringent punishment for rapists and repeat offenders and makes provisions of strict punishment for offences like stalking, voyeurism, disrobing and acid attacks.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Presidential assent to the Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2013, came on Tuesday - just two days before the February 3 Ordinance on the issue was to lapse.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The Bill - passed by the Lok Sabha on March 19 and by the Rajya Sabha on March 21 - has now become the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act replacing the Ordinance, which was promulgated in the wake of public outrage over the Nirbhaya gangrape on December 16, 2012.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new law provides for even capital punishment for rapist if the act causes death for victim or leaves her in a permanent vegetative state. Repeat offenders may also get capital punishment under the new law that has amended various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Unlike the Ordinance, the law keeps rape as a gender-specific crime where only a man can be booked for committing such offence. It, however, keeps the age of consent at 18 in sync with the Ordinance.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new law also states that an offender can be sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than 20 years, but which may extend to life, or imprisonment for the remainder of the convict&#039;s natural life and with a fine.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The law, for the first time, defines stalking and voyeurism as non-bailable offences if repeated for a second time. It prescribes a punishment ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment if someone traffics a minor and a jail term of 14 years which may be extended to life imprisonment if the offender is involved in trafficking more than one minor.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
For acid attack that caused harm to the victim, the offender will get a jail term of minimum 10 years which can be extended to life term. Offender can attract a penalty of five to seven years if he is involved in acid attack.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
President Pranab Mukherjee has given his assent to the tougher anti-rape bill, bringing into force the new legislation which provides for stringent punishment for rapists and repeat offenders and makes provisions of strict punishment for offences like stalking, voyeurism, disrobing and acid attacks.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Presidential assent to the Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2013, came on Tuesday - just two days before the February 3 Ordinance on the issue was to lapse.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The Bill - passed by the Lok Sabha on March 19 and by the Rajya Sabha on March 21 - has now become the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act replacing the Ordinance, which was promulgated in the wake of public outrage over the Nirbhaya gangrape on December 16, 2012.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new law provides for even capital punishment for rapist if the act causes death for victim or leaves her in a permanent vegetative state. Repeat offenders may also get capital punishment under the new law that has amended various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Unlike the Ordinance, the law keeps rape as a gender-specific crime where only a man can be booked for committing such offence. It, however, keeps the age of consent at 18 in sync with the Ordinance.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new law also states that an offender can be sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than 20 years, but which may extend to life, or imprisonment for the remainder of the convict&#039;s natural life and with a fine.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The law, for the first time, defines stalking and voyeurism as non-bailable offences if repeated for a second time. It prescribes a punishment ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment if someone traffics a minor and a jail term of 14 years which may be extended to life imprisonment if the offender is involved in trafficking more than one minor.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
For acid attack that caused harm to the victim, the offender will get a jail term of minimum 10 years which can be extended to life term. Offender can attract a penalty of five to seven years if he is involved in acid attack.

It prescribes a punishment ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment if someone traffics a minor and a jail term of 14 years which may be extended to life imprisonment if the offender is involved in trafficking more than one minor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;For acid attack that caused harm to the victim, the offender will get a jail term of minimum 10 years which can be extended to life term. Offender can attract a penalty of five to seven years if he is involved in acid attack.&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

&lt;br /&gt;
President Pranab Mukherjee has given his assent to the tougher anti-rape bill, bringing into force the new legislation which provides for stringent punishment for rapists and repeat offenders and makes provisions of strict punishment for offences like stalking, voyeurism, disrobing and acid attacks.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Presidential assent to the Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2013, came on Tuesday - just two days before the February 3 Ordinance on the issue was to lapse.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The Bill - passed by the Lok Sabha on March 19 and by the Rajya Sabha on March 21 - has now become the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act replacing the Ordinance, which was promulgated in the wake of public outrage over the Nirbhaya gangrape on December 16, 2012.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new law provides for even capital punishment for rapist if the act causes death for victim or leaves her in a permanent vegetative state. Repeat offenders may also get capital punishment under the new law that has amended various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Unlike the Ordinance, the law keeps rape as a gender-specific crime where only a man can be booked for committing such offence. It, however, keeps the age of consent at 18 in sync with the Ordinance.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new law also states that an offender can be sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than 20 years, but which may extend to life, or imprisonment for the remainder of the convict&#039;s natural life and with a fine.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The law, for the first time, defines stalking and voyeurism as non-bailable offences if repeated for a second time. It prescribes a punishment ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment if someone traffics a minor and a jail term of 14 years which may be extended to life imprisonment if the offender is involved in trafficking more than one minor.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
For acid attack that caused harm to the victim, the offender will get a jail term of minimum 10 years which can be extended to life term. Offender can attract a penalty of five to seven years if he is involved in acid attack.

Repeat offenders may also get capital punishment under the new law that has amended various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Unlike the Ordinance, the law keeps rape as a gender-specific crime where only a man can be booked for committing such offence. It, however, keeps the age of consent at 18 in sync with the Ordinance.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new law also states that an offender can be sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than 20 years, but which may extend to life, or imprisonment for the remainder of the convict&#039;s natural life and with a fine.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The law, for the first time, defines stalking and voyeurism as non-bailable offences if repeated for a second time. It prescribes a punishment ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment if someone traffics a minor and a jail term of 14 years which may be extended to life imprisonment if the offender is involved in trafficking more than one minor.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
For acid attack that caused harm to the victim, the offender will get a jail term of minimum 10 years which can be extended to life term. Offender can attract a penalty of five to seven years if he is involved in acid attack.

President gives his assent to anti-rape bill

-The Times of India President Pranab Mukherjee has given his assent to the tougher anti-rape bill, bringing into force the new legislation which provides for stringent punishment for rapists and repeat offenders and makes provisions of strict punishment for offences like stalking, voyeurism, disrobing and acid attacks. Presidential assent to the Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2013, came on Tuesday - just two days before the February 3 Ordinance on the issue was to lapse. The Bill - passed by the Lok Sabha on March 19 and by the Rajya Sabha on March 21 - has now become the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act replacing the Ordinance, which was promulgated in the wake of public outrage over the Nirbhaya gangrape on December 16, 2012. The new law provides for even capital punishment for rapist if the act causes death for victim or leaves her in a permanent vegetative state. Repeat offenders may also get capital punishment under the new law that has amended various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act. Unlike the Ordinance, the law keeps rape as a gender-specific crime where only a man can be booked for committing such offence. It, however, keeps the age of consent at 18 in sync with the Ordinance. The new law also states that an offender can be sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than 20 years, but which may extend to life, or imprisonment for the remainder of the convict's natural life and with a fine. The law, for the first time, defines stalking and voyeurism as non-bailable offences if repeated for a second time. It prescribes a punishment ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment if someone traffics a minor and a jail term of 14 years which may be extended to life imprisonment if the offender is involved in trafficking more than one minor. For acid attack that caused harm to the victim, the offender will get a jail term of minimum 10 years which can be extended to life term. Offender can attract a penalty of five to seven years if he is involved in acid attack.
