Eve- teasing is a typical social crime which violates the right to life and liberty of the women in the metropolitan cities,&#8221; the court said.<\/p>\n<p>It said eve-teasing and stalking violate a woman&#8217;s right to live with dignity and the convict must be awarded such a sentence which discourages the other like minded people of the society from doing such offences.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Acts of stalking, passing lewd remarks and gestures, brushing against the woman&#8217;s body and passing vulgar comments are some of the things which women in metropolitan cities face all the time and what exactly happens simply depends upon the opportunity which the perverts gets,&#8221; the magistrate said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Men who indulge in such enjoyment do not seem to realise how a woman may be affected by their comments and acts. These men feel it right to show their attention and aggression towards women. They rather feel validated by acting sexually and aggressively towards women.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In case of eve-teasing and stalking, the seriousness of the offence lies not in the extent of punishment it carries but on the impact, it has social psyche and public order,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eve-teasing and stalking violate women&#8217;s right to life and liberty and are a menace which makes them feel unsafe, a Delhi court has observed.
