Sociological perspectives on Gargi Movie - Child sexual abuse

Gargi isn't that kind of a film, and that is its inherent strength. It is the story of the eponymous protagonist, who fights the system to save her father from a child rape case that she believes he's wrongly accused in. She takes on the justice system, media and a judgmental society to see it through

Child sexual abuse (CSA) can be defined as any sexual act committed by an adult on a child for the purpose of the adult's gratification.

Structural-functional perspective:- the origin of rape is found in the lack of solid social structure and social integration both in the family and in peer groups...

Conflict perspective:- the origin of rape is found in the stress caused by the competition of families for prestige..

Feminist perspective:- the origin of rape is found where the society is constructed image of gender imbalances, male domination over women causes of rape proliferation in society

Forms of child sexual abuse 

1. Sexual Molestation: Usually not physically stressful to the child. It includes petting,fondling, kissing, mutual masturbation, verbal sexual abuse and innuendo.

2. Rape: In Indian society rape is categorized by penile penetration with or without consent of the female if she is under sixteen years of age.

3.. Bare Branches phenomenon:-Most violent crime like rape is committed by young unmarried males who lack stable social bonds. 

4.objectification of women bodies Ex- advertisement social media,movies .

5.toxic masculinity :-men are in charge of the sexuality of women and thier sense of honour depends on this control being socially accepted as legitimate.

5.Crisis of Institutions: Secularisation and decrease in morality and values in society has led to increase in child abuse. Eg: increasing child pornography etc.

Consequences of child sexual abuse :-

1.Suicidal thoughts ( cambell- rape is social problem that could easily lead to suicide or suicidal attempt)

2.isolated from mainstream ( it limits activity of children )

3.stigamatized by society ( rejected by community, friends)

Sociological analysis on Tribal land alienation


       Breakdown of the relative isolation of tribal areas in the name of development and progress has been accompanied by a continuous process by which Adivasis have been systematically displaced from thier traditional habitats 

Routes to alienation 
                    Land alienation among tribes began during British colonialism in india when the British intervened in the tribal zone to plunder tribal natural resources. when outsiders abuse the tribes land and resources, the tribal ecology and tribal life is severely disrupted.

1.development induced displacement - Xaxa committee report says all people displaced in india due to development activity only 21% of these have been resettled.
"Adivasis have been subject to utmost injustice and social exclusion. It still continues, though not openly"

2.state failure - community land of tribal communities recorded as govt land in survey + poor distribution of govt wastelands.

3.creation of national parks resulting in alienation of rights and consequent displacement and forced migration of tribal peoples.

4.Economic poverty of tribals and indebtedness - further marginalization and pauperisation 

5.legal lag - govt failure to providen land records to the tribe and lack of proper legal recognition of tribes over the forest land 

6.Changing local structures of powers and land rights structure in tribal societies is different from what it is in other societies.

7.concept of private property in land also adversely affected tribals 

8.Tribal elite cornering benefits

9.Excessive dependence of tribal communities on land for their income and employment makes land alienation and landlessness a major livelihood concern of the tribes. 

10.lack of social relations outside the closely knit centered society. Displacement leads to disruption in family life and to loss of social network.

11.Unawareness of forest act, illiteracy and poverty - absense of baking facilities in tribal areas

Sociological perspectives on Marital Rape



Marital rape - is when a woman is forced by her husband to have sex after marriage, when it is against her will and her consent is not granted.

Feminist Perspectives - they defines marital rape as a " Patriarchal terrorism " where a woman is dominated to establish a certain degree of social control and states that the marriage license is more of a " licence to rape

Conflict perspective - Karl marks defined marriage as a Bourgeois institutions whereby wives become instruments of production for a legalized system of private prostitution. In the communist manifesto he contended that in marriage, the continuing sexual exploitation of women is " Hypocritically concealed

Social constructionism theory - claims that people who hold the power in the society are responsible for moulding the rules on marital rape and they believe that men desire to retain the traditional form of power within their household is the reason that marital rape occurs.

Why does Marital Rape happen 

1.Cultural imperialism - cultural imperialism involves the " Universalization of a dominant groups experience and culture and it's establishment as the norm.

2.Exploitation and Systematic violence

3.Marginalization - marginalization involves not just material loss but also deprival of cultural, practical and institutionalised conditions.

4.Powerlessness - lack the decision making power + powerless lack the authority, status and sense of self.

5.Misrecognition - the failure to recognise or misrecognition can inflict a grievous wound on another culture 

6.Legal lag - currently under any law India has no provision for rape in marriage 

7.Doctrine of coverture - marital rape largely influenced by and derived from this doctrine of merging the women identify with that of her husband.

8.Sex Role socialization theory - deems marital rape to be quite an extreme form of itself because of the ghastly concept about a woman and her duties as a wife 

Arguments against criminalisation of marital rape 

1.Destabilize the institution of marriage - become a potential tool for harassing husbands.

2.Other countries mostly western have criminalized marital rape does not necessarily mean india should also follow them blindly.

3.Law commission on Review of rape laws has examined the issues but not recommend the criminalisation of Marital rape 

4.impossibility of proving marital rape , it's Criminalisation would only serve as an increased burden to the already overburdened legal system.

5.Destabilize the equilibrium in society - 

Some social challenges such as 
πŸ”ΉDeep rooted social and cultural values regarding marriage.
πŸ”ΉFalse cases of marital rape - it will be difficult for husbands to prove their innocence.

        Marriage is considered as a sacred institution in india - it has been argued that it is not possible to acknowledge marital rape as a crime due to illiteracy, poverty, social customs, values and religious belief such factors actually make the case of marital rape stronger.

Arguments for criminalisation of Marital rape 

1.Social crime - it violating the fundamental right and dignity of a married woman, it de-shapes the concept of patriarchy and breaches the trust of a wife.

2.it is a severe form of sexual violence that is punishable in many civilized society as a symbol of " gender justice" 

3.decriminalizing marital rape simply means concretizing the patriarchal mindset in society.

4.Justice JS Verma committee set up after the nirbhaya gang rape 2012, made a recommendation for criminalizing marital rape. 

5.Distributive justice and gender equality - it will give women a feel of being safe and equal in making the decisions about the sex and related issues 

6.Violation of fundamental rights - article 14 and article 21 

Bertrand Russell - deplored the situation of married women when says " marriage is for women the commonest mode of livelihood and the total amount of undesired sex endured by women in probably greater in marriage than in prostitution.
