This book portrays theory and praxis on `love' and `justice' towards addressing rape cases in India. It critically frames the shortcomings of the judiciary in India in delivering justice that largely adjudicates under the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The book brings out a crucial argument for an alternative paradigm centering on the reconciliatory process of the `rape victim' and the `offender' along with appropriate legal instruments. Towards this approach, the author draws the significance of retributive justice and ethics of love under the larger framework of Christocentric Ethics proposed by Paul Ramsey. The book also touches upon the concepts of `Transcendence' and `Immanence' while theorizing the frame of decision making on rape cases under the garb of love and justice.
