      In India, the punishment for rape is outlined in the Indian Penal Code (IPC), particularly under Section 376. The severity of the punishment can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the crime.
      Generally, if an individual is found guilty of rape, the punishment is:
      * Rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than ten years, but which may extend to imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine.
      However, there are stricter penalties for specific aggravating circumstances:
      * Rape of a woman under sixteen years of age: Rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than twenty years, but which may extend to imprisonment for life (meaning imprisonment for the remainder of that person’s natural life), and a fine.
      * Rape of a woman under twelve years of age: Rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than twenty years, but which may extend to imprisonment for life (meaning imprisonment for the remainder of that person’s natural life), and with fine or with death.
      * Gang Rape: Rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than twenty years, but which may extend to imprisonment for life (meaning imprisonment for the remainder of that person’s natural life), and a fine. If the victim of gang rape is under twelve years of age, the punishment can also be death.
      * Repeated rape by the same person: Rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than ten years, but which may extend to imprisonment for life (meaning imprisonment for the remainder of that person’s natural life), and a fine.
      * Rape causing death or persistent vegetative state: Rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than twenty years, but which may extend to imprisonment for life (meaning imprisonment for the remainder of that person’s natural life), or with death.
      The fine imposed in all these cases is intended to be just and reasonable to meet the medical expenses and rehabilitation of the victim, and is paid to the victim.
      It’s important to remember that these are the possible punishments if found guilty, and the legal process involves investigation, trial, and judgment based on the evidence presented.
