  Rape culture is a sociological concept for a setting in which rape is pervasive and normalized due to societal attitudes about gender and sexuality. ... It has been used to  areas where war rape is used as psychological warfare. Now, should we treat women as independent agents, responsible for themselves? Of course.

  INTRODUCTION The word “Alibi” is derived from Latin which means “elsewhere” or “somewhere else”. It is used as a defence by the person who is accused, in criminal proceedings. When the accused makes a plea of alibi, it means that the accused is trying to convey and convince the court that he is at some other place at the time when the crime happened. Generally, a plea of alibi states that the suspect was not there at the crime spot and time of the performance of a crime owing to the excuse that he was at some other place. According to criminal law, the burden of proving that he was absent at the crime spot, lies on the accused. ILLUSTRATION :  On a certain day A got murdered at Vijayawada.

Here B must prove that he/she is in Vizag, at the time the crime was committed.   SECTIONS DEALING WITH PLEA OF ALIBI Section 11 of the Indian Evidence Act...

With the multiplication of commercial transactions, the demand for  legal  certainty increased, especially for transactions across national boundaries. Contractual relations The first response to the multitude of practically identical transactions was the standardization of contracts.

The same technique of standardization was adopted for international transactions. The forms and standard contracts of certain well-known...
