Though acid attack is a crime which can be committed against any man or woman, it has a specific gender dimension in India.
Most of the reported acid attacks have been committed on women,
particularly young women for spurning suitors, for rejecting proposals of
marriage, for denying dowry etc.
The attacker cannot bear the fact that he has been rejected
and seeks to destroy the body of the woman who has dared to stand up to him.
Thus, acid throwing is an extremely violent crime by which
the perpetrator of the crime seeks to inflict severe physical and mental
suffering on his victim.
As stated above this kind of violence is often motivated by
deep-seated jealousy or feelings of revenge against a woman.
For instance, in Bangladesh 78 percent of the reported acid
violence is inflicted on women with the most common reasons for attack being
the refusal of marriage, the denial of sex, and the rejection of romance.
The acid is usually thrown at the victim’s face. The perpetrator wants to disfigure the victims and turn them into a monster.
Aside from the reasons stated above the other reasons for
acid attacks include robbery, land disputes etc.
Perpetrators of the crime act cruelly and deliberately.
Acid violence is a premeditated act of violence as the
perpetrator of the crime carries out the attack by first obtaining the acid,
carrying it on him and then stalking the victim before executing the act.
