Reply to comment by Extinct1234 in "Two-Finger Test To Confirm Rape Patriarchal, Sexist": Indian Supreme Court by dynamicEntr0py

So the appeals court overturned a conviction for rape and murder based on this test. And the Supreme Court now calls bullshit.

That's good. But I don't understand how, even if you use this test, how it could lead to acquittal for murder. You can consent to sex but not murder.

If she hadn’t resisted the “consensual” sex he wouldn’t have had to murder her of course. /s

Two charges. You can be acquitted of the rape but not the murder charge. It's not like acquittal or conviction on one necessitates the other.
