I know but we need to answer. The other answer is that we ignore it altogether and pretend it is not happening, in which case criminalisation remains in place, leaving it open to somebody to take an action against somebody who is already availing of a particular route to deal with a situation such as rape. If it is intended that we should oppose that and restrict the ability of a woman who has been raped and needs to avail herself of the facility in question, I do not believe we should isolate her at all.
