The correct answer is (d) Section 228-A.
Section 228-A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, states that whoever publishes the name or any matter which may make known the identity of the victim of rape shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years and with fine.
Section 225-B deals with the punishment for disclosing the identity of the victim of sexual harassment. Section 227 deals with the punishment for publishing the name or any matter which may make known the identity of the victim of an offence under Chapter XX of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. Section 228 deals with the punishment for outraging the modesty of a woman.
The purpose of Section 228-A is to protect the identity of the victim of rape. This is because the victim of rape is often stigmatized and ostracized by society. The disclosure of the victim’s identity can lead to further trauma and humiliation for the victim. Section 228-A helps to ensure that the victim of rape can receive the support and assistance that they need without fear of being identified.
