His words did not sit well with some participants of the civil culture, consisting of lawyer as well as protestor Jibran Nasir that claimed “rape is a result of power discrepancy not lure”.

“Rapists regulate their prompts when they have actually anxiety of retribution, liability and also sentence and when they’re made free from such anxieties because of gendered social structures much like ours, they’ll also rape an infant,” he tweeted.

According to data supplied by the federal government last year, 11 rape instances are reported daily in Pakistan, while authorities admit truth number is much higher.

Dear @ImranKhanPTI rape is a result of power imbalance not temptation. Rapists control their urges when they've fear of retribution, accountability & conviction and when they're made free from such fears due to gendered social structures just like ours they'll even rape an infant

Yet less than 3 percent of sexual assault or rape situations result in a sentence, according to the Karachi-based group War Versus Rape.
