Women's Rights

I received the below forwarded email from Joyce regarding women's right, this is just a forwarded email, i don't know whether it's true or not.

Women's Right

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. Infact, the law clearly states that between 6.00 pm and 6.00 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 6.00 pm and 6.00 am ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officerand 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.
