Abstract

Sexual abuse - women religious - rape myths

This article examines the allegations of rape brought against Bishop Franco Mulakkal (Jalandhar diocese, India) by a Mother Superior of a convent in Kerala in 2018. It discusses the court case that ensued (September 2020-January 2022) and gives particular attention to the impact of stigma and the influence of purity culture on perceptions of the case.
