Sexual Abuse of Girl Child and the Law in India

Abstract

Girl is a important creation of God. She plays a important role in every aspect of her life. She is the axis of the society. The whole society revolves round her. There has been a drastic change in the status of girl from the Vedic age to the present day. Her status has stooped down from that of Goddess to just a living being. The birth of a girl child which at the ancient society was a boon has now became a curse for the society.
