One of the most heinous and grave crime meted to women which physically and emotionally affects the women is rape. Laws has always changed to ensure the protection of women in every aspect.

The effects of rape can include both the initial physical trauma as well as deep psychological trauma. In this paper the concept of rape in the context of legal changes is dealt.”
