Victim's Testimony in Rape Trials: Corroboration Vs Sole Reliance

Author(s) Mr. Nitesh Mishra
Country India
Abstract This research critically explores the legal and ethical dimensions of relying on victim testimony in rape cases, analysing how different jurisdictions address the tension between corroboration and sole reliance. It investigates judicial trends, legislative frameworks, and societal perceptions that influence the treatment of victim statements. The study further examines the impact of these evidentiary standards on the delivery of justice, the protection of due process, and the broader implications for sexual violence jurisprudence.
