Abstract
Rape is a dreadful crime which continues to haunt the victim even after many years of the incident. It becomes a heavy burden which the victim continues to carry with herself/ himself all throughout his/her life.
One of the aggregated form of rape is ‘Date Rape’ which the paper deals with. Date Rape is more devastating because in this you trust a person in a romantic relationship and in return your body is used as their own property and it destroys the person both physically and mentally. Date rape is essential to address because firstly, sometimes the victims themselves does not comprehend that he/she has been raped and secondly it is difficult for the victim to prove because of drugs that are used to rape. This paper address the mechanism of how this rape is carried out and who are more prone to it.
The paper also does empirical study among the college students and middle age men and women to analyse how many know or are aware about Date Rape by distributing Google forms among the college students. It is interesting to note that college students are more prone to date rape and hardly few know about this. This study also analyzed what people think a rape constitutes. This was important because many when in a romantic relationship think that forcing the partner is normal and part of the so called romantic game. Further the paper compares the situation of other countries with India regarding date rape.
