I learnt that under some circumstances, a woman can be found guilty of certain crimes(murder inclusive) and there can be a plea for Allocotus: saying she is a nursing mother or she is an only parent. This plea is only open to females and not males.Considering the concept of gender equality, should a plea for Allocotus be scrapped out of the judicial system or should it still stand? Since this concept tends to Favour just women. Although men can plea to be heard after being found guilty but a plea for Allocotus offers more pardon than the plea offered to men.
