Dear Sir, In case of victim being mentally retired person the compromise has to be made by her next friend that is legal guardian like mother or father. It being a rape case on a mentally retireded widow Court may not accept such compromise however during the course of evidence the witnesses may turn hostile which may facilitate the Accused to get acquittal judgment.
