                                              The Law gelding (Kebiri)

Law gelding (Kebiri)  also called castration  is surgical and or use of chemicals which aims to eliminate the function of the testes of male or ovarian function in females. Castration can be done either in animals or humans. punishment gelding want implemented in Indonesia, but many of pros and contracts in this case. Law gelding is currently being hotly discussed to be applied in Indonesia. The gelding legal plan will be sanctions against the perpetrators of the crime of rape. Actually, this gelding punishment has long discourse to be enforced. The goal is to give deterrent effect to the perpetrators of rape also provide a sense of justice for victims of rape.


             President, National Police and the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) agreed with castration. Jokowi even emphatically declared fully support the idea of a law enforcement gelding for perpetrators of rape. "I want this (crime of rape) into an extraordinary crime and the government should be outstanding as well" said President Jokowi when opening a cabinet meeting at the State Palace, Jokowi also confirmed soon will issue the regulation as a legal framework for the perpetrators of the crime of rape can be sentenced to a maximum. To support his assertion, he had asked the ministries and agencies concerned to take decisive efforts to address these problems. Jokowi wants to crimes of rape is elevated status as an extraordinary crime that the government needs to make efforts also remarkable. The same attitude was shown also by National Police also stated that the application of penalties gelding rightly supported. Through the Police Head of Public Relations, Amar Joey Boy, stated "It is nice and police support," said Boy in Police Headquarters on May 4, 2016. However, according to the Head of Public Relations, Police are still awaiting the government's decision to authorize the implementation of the plan and he hopes as soon as this can be done. The largest Muslim organization in Indonesia today, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). NU Chairman KH Said Aqil Siradj agree if the law is enforced castration. In fact, more resolute attitude, he even asked rapist sentenced to death. He said "Strongly agree, even better if it were put to death, not only emasculated." NU Chairman said on the sidelines of the National Gathering in Pasuruan on  May 14, 2016.


             Another attitude shown by the organization Muhammadiyah, respond to the plan to implement a gelding penalty for the perpetrators of rape. Through the general secretary, PP Muhammadiyah gelding law states must be viewed from the perspective of human rights and Islamic law. They argued the law gelding would undermine human nature, namely to produce offspring. "It (the law gelding) will make people lose their nature as human beings. People who have been  the law gelding will be disability for life. They do not have the opportunity to improve themselves", said the general secretary of Muhammadiyah. Attitude of resistance to castration punishment is shown also by the agency commission. Through the commissioner, Nur Khoiron, Komnas HAM disappointed on the government's statement on plans to enter in the draft regulation has emasculated punishment. National Human Rights Commission argued that sentencing will gelding degrading and hamper human rights. "We still refused punishment emasculated it," said Nur Khoiron on  May 11, 2016.


           Many of the pros and cons that arise as a result of plans to implement the castration sentence. Maybe this is the reason why this plan is still under review by the government in order not to cause uproar in the community. On the gelding law, I personally agree with the attitude of the government that will issue a regulation has as a foundation the enactment of the law gelding. I do not agree with the reason that this penalty is not in accordance with human rights. I think the perpetrators of the brutal rape did not deserve their fundamental rights as human beings. They are very cruel with not respect even claiming rights owned by the victim. They are not longer a human being, a sense of humanity they have lost. I hope the government can immediately finalize the draft regulation to take action against perpetrators of rape.
