In Bihar’s Madhubani district, a man convicted of attempted rape has been granted bail on the condition that he wash and iron the clothes of all women in his hamlet for six months.
A court stated on Wednesday that Lalan Kumar, 20, has to do free laundry services to around 2,000 women in the hamlet of Majhor, for six months. Kumar, who works as a clothes washer, was detained in April on accusations of attempted rape, said a police official Santosh Kumar Singh.

The decree, according to the women in the hamlet, had a beneficial influence by making crime against women a topic of debate in their society.
