Dear all, > > Please read and share with your loved one ....
IMPORTANT > Women's Rights 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. >
I was talking with a lawyer friend of mine. >
We were discussing the law and women's rights. > >
She told me about this incident > -

a young girl was raped by a man posing as a plain clothes>
officer; he asked her to come to the police station when she>
and her male friend didn't have a driver's license> to show.
He sent the boy off to get his license and asked>
the girl to accompany him to the police station. > >

Took her instead to an isolated area where the horrendous>
crime was committed. > > In fact, the law clearly states that between 6 pm and 6 am,>
a woman has the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station,>
even if an arrest warrant has been issued against her... > >

It is a procedural issue that a woman can be arrested> between 6 pm and 6 am,
ONLY if she is arrested by a woman> officer and taken to an ALL WOMEN police station. >
And if she is arrested by a male officer, it has to be> proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time of> arrest. > > It is good for us to know our rights.

To what extent it> comes of use remains to be seen in any situation. But as> they say, knowledge is power. Just thought I'd share> this with you. I did not know this and am sure lot of us> will not know this- please be informed.....
And pass on this> info to whom all you know.......
