//As the poor began to move out of village for more dignified employment, the rich invested part of their surplus on education of their children. Initially it was only the boys who went on to study in the towns and universities outside the village. By the late 1990s, as urban life appeared more attractive, even daughters were allowed to pursue higher studies, which would help them find urban grooms. However, once educated, these women wished to exercise their agency in shaping their lives. It is this urge among the upwardly mobile from amongst the dominant caste communities to move beyond the village that creates a crisis of authority within the families, which makes the “older” patriarchs simply irrelevant. However, they are unwilling to forgo their traditional authority. The khap provides them a “legitimate” platform to reassert their authority, even if it implies finding excuses for heinous crimes like rape in the name of “tradition”// http://www.indianexpress.com/news/the-purposes-of...

The molesters did not expect any action to be taken against them, they had no fear of being recognized in the videos. I think such criminals realize that the police and the society would probably silence the victim by shaming and blaming her. If a few such molesters are arrested and convicted and if the cases are publicized, we will see them being able to control themselves very well.
