In 98% Rape case rapists known to Victims::
In Uttar Pradesh, the condition becomes even worse as in 98 per cent cases, the rapists were familiar to survivors. Moreover, 35 per cent of these rapists were next-door neighbours of the victims. "All crimes have their roots in the society. The fact that perpetrators were mostly known to the survivors creates a greater impact on half the society (read women)," Madhu Garg, state general secretary of All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA), was quoted by Times of India as saying. That out of the total 34,651 rape cases reported across the country, in only 1,553 cases the culprits were strangers. In Uttar Pradesh, 3,025 cases were reported in 2015 and in just 62 cases the culprit was a stranger.
While UP is at fourth stand in terms of maximum rape cases reported in 2015, it tops the list of states where women were raped on the pretext of marriage – a total of 795 cases. In 1,083 cases, the rapists were neighbours, while in 143 cases, the accused were live-in partners.
