Capital punishment is a matter of debate, especially when, laws of different nations with same notions contradict amongst themselves. There is a cultural tendency for the citizens of a particular country to favor the capital punishment law of their own native land. But what I think is that this prejudices people from thinking critically on the matter. Thus, the article aims at making a reasonable approach towards the validity of capital punishment laws. For that, I have taken 3 nations, India, UK and USA for a comparison. The skeptics and the advocates must try to realize, why capital punishment is acceptable or unacceptable. Laws on capital punishment are, like all other laws, relative to the inherent circumstances of every country.
