Stricter legislation for rapists more harmful to raped women

Topic 60:

With the latest gang rape case in Mumbai (Bombay) the demand for a stricter legislation for rapists is on high. Death sentence, castration, bobbing, life imprisonment etc are demanded by various protesters in their dharna/ protest. Rape is a heinous crime, but in the end; safety to the life of victim should be main concern of law. 

If death sentence is legislated for rapist, which rapist would leave his victim alive after rape? They would for sure kill the victim, because they would want to avoid all possibilities wherein their victim complaints to police, they get caught and in the end get death sentence.

Murder results in death sentence, if death sentence is legislated for rape, rape and murder will became same and therefore rapists would surely kill their victims. What is need of time; is not legislation for stricter and harsher laws, but proper and complete implementation of current laws.
