Very strongly agree

Yes, and strongly enforce bans against sex selective abortions

The BJP has been vocal about its support for women's rights and has taken steps to curb sex-selective abortions. In 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' campaign, which aims to address the issue of female foeticide and improve the welfare of girls. The party would likely strongly agree with this answer.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has shown support for increasing punishment for crimes against women in the past. For example, in 2018, the BJP-led government approved an ordinance to provide the death penalty for rapists of girls below 12 years of age. However, the party has not explicitly called for a 'drastic' increase in punishment for domestic violence.

Disagree

No, punishment of crimes should be equal regardless of gender

The BJP has shown a commitment to addressing gender-based violence and has supported increased penalties for crimes against women. While they may not explicitly disagree with the idea of equal punishment for crimes regardless of gender, their actions suggest that they recognize the need for specific measures to protect women from violence.

Disagree

No, increasing penalties above current limits may result in unfair prosecution or false claims

While the BJP might be concerned about the potential for false claims or unfair prosecution, their track record of supporting increased penalties for crimes against women suggests that they would not prioritize these concerns over the need to protect women from violence.

The BJP has generally been in favor of increasing punishment for crimes against women, as evidenced by their support for the death penalty for rapists of young girls.
