Sentenced to be raped

Pakistan village council orders 'revenge rape' of girl

he extended family members all lived within metres of each other, in a small village near a river bank in Pakistan's largest province, Punjab.

It was in this village in Muzaffarabad, a suburb of the city of Multan, where the first of two rapes took place.

A daughter of the family, around the age of 12 or 13, was cutting the grass in nearby fields on July 16 when a teenage boy covered her with a cloth and raped her, police said. The boy was a 16-year-old relative of hers.

In the days that followed the girl's rape, the family's elders gathered together in shock and anguish, seeking to resolve what had happened

"They are victims and accused at the same time," Younis said. "It's barbaric."

Indeed, the case was shocking. But it was not entirely unheard of – such "honour" crimes still take place in some parts of Pakistan and India. But what made this case different was that somebody spoke up, and authorities took action.

The individual rapes were reported to the Violence Against Women Centre in Multan, and authorities pursued the arrests of the two men accused. But as they investigated the cases, police learned there were dozens of additional family members involved, Younis said.

Authorities ordered the arrests of 29 people – all members of the extended family. Of those, 25 have already been taking into custody, including the first of the accused assailants.

Family members admitted to police that the second rape was ordered as retaliation for the first one. But they asserted that the decision was a consensual one between the two families.

A representative from the Violence Against Women Centre told the Pakistani newspaper Dawn that the mother of the first accused man had offered either of her two married daughters to settle the score, on the condition that the first victim's family would not take legal action against her son. But the family elders, the panchayat, demanded that she hand over her unmarried teenage daughter to be raped as punishment.

The two men accused of rape could face a maximum punishment of the death penalty, Younis said, but "that is up to the court".

The "revenge rape" has spurred outrage in Pakistan and prompted the country's chief justice on Thursday to order the inspector general of Punjab police to submit a report regarding the case, according to Dawn.

It has shed light on the continued prevalence of the panchayat system, an informal village governance system in which village leaders have been known to settle disputes over women with forced marriages, stonings and other punishments.

This was a very distinct type of a panchayat comprised entirely of elders in the same extended family. Most panchayats take the form of a village council with leaders from different, unrelated families in the neighbourhood.

Human rights lawyer and activist Asma Jahangir on Wednesday urged the government to take further action to crack down on all panchayats, which she said have no legal standing.

"Panchayats have no standing and the courts have stated the same," Jahangir told Geo News. "If they act outside of law, then the panchayat and its members should be prosecuted according to law."

The horrific story also underscored the problem of violence against females in Pakistan, which has ranked as the world's third most dangerous place for women, according to a 2011 Thomson Reuters Foundation expert survey. More than 1000 women and girls are victims of "honour killings" every year, according to Pakistan's Human Rights Commission.

But progress has been made. Last year, Punjab lawmakers gave unprecedented protection to female victims of violence, passing a new law that criminalises all forms of violence against women, whether domestic, psychological or sexual. It also mandated the establishment of women's shelters an

Bet there is nothing in the Koran which refers to this.

Sounds more tribal/cultural/social than religion based.

Sorta like revenge spearing among the aboriginals.

You get your bearings from Demento - of course. I have been telling you for a long time and finally you concede.  Demented. Deranged.

Aussie you often cite your own ignorance of Islam as a justification for your views. Why are you now prepared to reassure us that something is not in the Koran?

Because it would be daft that a religious text of any kind would suggest that if your Son rapes the Daughter of Bob, then Bob's Son may rape your Daughter.

If I'm wrong about the Koran on this point, just cite the relevant part of piss off with your sanctimony.

So you don't think the Koran says anything that is "daft"?

No citation I see, Effendi.....just more of your argumentative rubbish.  Get back to me when you have the relevant text from the Koran.
