Opinion divided on death for Singh

"The judgement has set an example that women cannot be oppressed and treated like animals..."

The judgement has set an example that women cannot be oppressed and treated like animals. Anything less than death sentence would be a soft punishment for a heinous crime such as this.

Death sentence is the right decision. A mistake was made in the lower courts, which has been rectified in the high court. Hope a similar verdict is given in the Nitish Katara and Jessica Lal cases

I do not believe in death sentence but the law has to be followed. The law says death can only be awarded in the rarest of rare cases. The judgement has sent a message that the justice delivery system is still working.

I am not for death penalty and personally, I think it should be abolished. We do not have the right to take away anybody's life. However, I am glad that justice at last has been done.
