ABSTRACT
This research paper endeavors to unravel the truth about Rape laws in India and Saudi Arabia, by way of performing a comparative analysis. The topic bids asking that what indeed are the laws and provisions, if any, that secure the position of women in both the countries. While it is known that the crime related to rape is in a higher number in both of the countries. There are other forms of protection required that go beyond the walls of the courtroom. In this sense, some of the questions that prop up are whether there are any laws that penalize intimidating the witness into giving falsified testimony in case of rape. The hypothesis being those laws relating to rapes is something lacking in India and Saudi Arabia, if not in law making then in implementation of it. The research paper will touch up on these issues and give a substantial conclusion making appropriate comparisons between both the nations.
Keywords: Rape laws, India, Saudi Arabia, sexual exploitation, Fundamental right, psychological harm.
