Govt urged to amend rape law

A university lecturer urged the government Wednesday to amend Section 276 of the Criminal Code to ensure better justice for rape victims.

Currently, Section 276 prescribes punishment against rapists only when they rape a woman who is not their wife.

"The law should be amended. What about rape victims who are wives? Or homosexuals?" Assistant Professor Nartrudee Denduang said.

Nartrudee, who teaches at Mahidol University's Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, was speaking at a seminar on legal amendments that would boost equal treatment towards women.
