111. The article is extremely detailed, so that is one hell of an error

There are other articles from around that time
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_of_Women_from_Domestic_Violence_Act_2005
"Domestic violence" includes actual abuse or the threat of abuse that is physical, sexual, verbal, emotional and economic."

Read for comprehension. Your cites are not wrong but you are. This is a recurring theme with you. You do not understand the numbers or the meaning of what you are reading, or are trying to twist them to support your previous false statement. After the fact.


I will also add that you are arguing against two of your previous sources, not just one. Looking at the 99% figure for non-reporting of GBV, non-reporting of rapes would have to be a lower number. This is because rape is a subset of all kinds of GBV, including striking a woman. So unless you think women report being beaten 100% of the time in India, then it is impossible for both the rates for GBV and rape to be 99%.

Side note: I checked the abstract of the study you linked to earlier and it said the reporting rate of GBV in India is actually 2% so we should have been saying 98% all along. But everything I said still stands with that number. it actually tilts the numbers slightly further towards what I have been saying.

Let me ask you this: Why is it so hard for you to accept that there is a higher rape rate in the US than India?
