Reforms for criminals - are concerned is one of the trickest areas of our judicial system, subjected to a society's perception about the committed crime.

Like Chitrashi mentioned, a case where a rapist agrees to marry the victim, he is branded as reformed and is allowed to lead a normal life but where is the justice in that case, he ends up living among his potential victims and has a lady to pent up his aggression and he can beat her up whenevr he wants.

But then on the other hand we have juvenile criminals with future ahead, can they be reformed, mayb ,mayb not.

But the real questions arises how the perception of the crime remains with the society, if a rapist marries his victim , his crime is taken so lightly, its burshed of as if everythng is alright, a dowry case has its own sympathizers , somewhere the seriousness of the crime and its gory effect is lost.

Now coming back to Gandhi, well I have doubts about it being an example of regret, i need to hear Kasturba's account but personally i feel DV is a very heinous crime which our society turns a blind eye to and feels its a husband-wife matter, so if a person is let off easily without a formidable punishment it wouldnt do any good to stop this practice , also icons like gandhi should have pushed for many stringent laws against it if the regret was that big.

Gandhian Philosophy is an excellent way of life but there should alwayz be an evoluton not a stagnation of our morals and ideals.
