If a man gets raped in India, he may experience physical, emotional, and psychological trauma. He may also face stigma and discrimination from society due to the societal taboo surrounding male rape.
The legal process for a man who has been raped in India is similar to that for a woman who has been raped. The man can file a complaint with the police, who will then investigate the crime and arrest the perpetrator if sufficient evidence is found. The case will then be heard in a criminal court, and the perpetrator could be convicted and sentenced to prison if found guilty.
However, it is often difficult for men to come forward and report a rape due to the stigma and shame associated with being a male victim. Many men fear that they will not be believed or will be ridiculed, and may choose not to report the crime. This can make it difficult to get a clear picture of the prevalence of male rape in India.
Since many cases of male rape have gone unheard or have been ignored in the past, many men who have been raped choose not to step forward. But with time India has also changed a lot, and although there are quite a few people who would maybe not believe that men are being raped, the justice system will belive it, given the evidence is sufficient.
The justice system doesn't see anything, it doesn't discriminate by religion, caste or gender. Know that if a person has enough evidence the justice system will 100% take the appropriate action.
Regardless of gender, all victims of rape deserve support and justice. It is important for society to create an environment where all victims feel comfortable coming forward and seeking help.
