Legislative frameworks should also respect the rights of the accuser along with the accused to make sure that justice is carried out without unfairly affecting either party.

Investigating the root causes of false allegations with general methods, their consequences on society, and their repercussions on all parties involved, society may develop successful procedures to eradicate false accusations, help sexual assault survivors, and give a thoughtful approach to managing these harsh circumstances. Case studies showed only touch on a fraction of the actual events. Although there are more true rape cases, the rise in false rape accusations for insignificant reasons discourages real victims from speaking out. The legal system has a responsibility to take victims’ discrimination and the accused’s prejudice into account.
