Pornography and its devastating consequences of the women and children in India

Book excerpt: The aim of this Paper is to identify objectively, the role of pornography in the cases of rape and sexual assault and deviant behaviour. Research indicates that many of the youth in India who have been engaged in pornography, have acted out on innocent victims to the point of molesting and raping them. There have been several instances of men acting out on their wives, what they saw during pornography, thus treating their wives as sex objects, and as a commodity. This family situation contributes to separation and divorces. While the crime of rape has always existed, there however now exists an epidemic of rapes crimes, no matter how tough the laws against this crime may be. If such harsh punishments such as the death penalty and life sentences are not stopping people from committing this crime, then there has to be a greater reason as to why men still rape women.
