Pregnant Rape Victim Whipped, Rapist Pardoned

kimi-kiss-pregnant-schoolgirl.jpg

A 16-year-old girl who became pregnant after being raped has been sentenced to a whipping by a fatwa, with the alleged rapist being pardoned and the girl’s father being fined.

The girl, a resident of a Bangladesh village, was married off and subsequently divorced after medical tests revealed she was already pregnant; this was apparently the reason for her being married off in the first place.

She claimed she had been raped by a 20-year-old fellow villager, but had felt such shame that she was unable to report the outrage.

Village elders met, and opted to settle the matter in a suitably Islamic fashion: they issued a fatwa demanding the girl be held in isolation by her family until she was submitted to 101 lashes; they also fined the girl’s father and threatened him with ostracism if his family refused to pay.

Finally, seeing the obvious injustice of a man being punished for rape, they pardoned the man responsible.

Bangladeshi courts have previously ordered that such extra-judicial punishments be restrained, but local police did nothing to prevent the girl being whipped; similar verdicts are reported throughout the region.

    Sankaku is still far to biased in these cases, anyone who knows any actual muslims who knows their koran, most of whats reported on sankaku wouldn't be allowed by their codes. Well regardless the punishment was far to harsh, but islam is very touchy on these cases, i mean she tried to fool the dude after getting raped and being subsequently pregnant by marrying fast to make it seem like his. I feel bad for her and the guy who did it should be getting the lashes.

    Really??? Don't you mean YOUR code? I know very well that Islam doesn't have any universal theological leader unlike Roman Catholic or Orthodox Church. Which means that every Mostlim denomination have their own right to decide that "I'm right and you're wrong!". My fellow Roman Catholic apologetic often call these kinds of religion: "book religion".

    Well, there is more than one way of achieving peace.

    1. Try to live nicely with your neighbours, try to achieve peace by not fighting with them.
    and
    2. Kill everyone you do not like, then there will be peace.

    to Bebop:
    Christians commit crimes, jews commit crimes, muslims commit crimes, atheists commit crimes, basically people commit crimes and it does not matter what their religion is.
    However, if this crime was committed in a non-muslim country, the rapist would be punised and the victim would not.

    This is weird - well, I can see punishing adulterers (since they both agreed to commit the crime), but rape victims? She did not want to be raped, she probably fought back, but the guy overpowered her. So she is now being punished for the guys actions? Nice. Maybe this should apply to more crimes. I hit you in the face and you go to jail because you did not avoid my fist. Oh, and if I injure my hand, you have to pay me money, becaue it was your face that hit and injured my fist.

    On the other hand, the US seems to be on the exact opposite end. If the woman says rape, everyone believes it. She can have consensual sex with a guy and then accuse him of rape (or threaten with the accusation to extort money or something else).

    It's not like I like playing the devil's advocate, but if she was raped, she should have reported it right away... Though probably in this case the father didn't want any "shame" on the family and prevented her from doing so and arranged the marriage.

    The rapist would go free anywhere since at such point the rape cannot be established, he could say it was consensual, and there would not be any proof that it was otherwise.

    At any rate, the one who should receive the punishment is the victim's father, not the poor girl.

    Yep. Even if she had reported that she was raped, the result would still have been the same; with the rapist being paid money by the victim's family, and the victim herself getting whipped.

    to anon at 5:00, your friend should have been smart enough to know the law is the law. Sure that was a really dickish move on her part, but it's like if somebody who works at a bank tells her friend that he can rob it that night because she'll leave the doors unlocked....he still shouldn't rob the bank.

    In this case the girl didn't even have a choice in the matter

    Because Christians and Jews punish the raped physically, fine their father, and let the rapist get off without even a slap on the wrist.

    That apologist shit doesn't fly, Achmed. If Muslims want to play with the big boys, they need to abandon their barbaric, misogynistic ways and get with the 21st century.

    @BlaqCat
    Many middle eastern countries tend to think of women as lesser creatures that are meant to serve men. That however, cannot be considered Misogyny. It's just another case of sexism which has been blown way out of proportions.
    Not that the "christian" world is innocent of sexism either.

    Misogyny means "hatred of women" and is a common defensive tactic for feminazi who try to rationalize their convictions.

    Now this may be just my black worldview, but I don't think there are many people who care about the sad situation in middle east. There are, of course, the real feminists (who often get lost in the "waaaaa"), but most people are far too detached from the events there to really consider it something worth investing their energy into, as opposed to important things like sunday bowling.
    It's a real pity. So much wasted potential in social advancement for archaic beliefs that do not reflect reality. Human nature is really counter-productive.

    The Muslims there are indoctrinated to the point that their sense of right and wrong are skewed and very different from the rest of us. If it's a woman, then everything about her is wrong, so sayeth the Quran (at least according to their interpretations).

    It's just barbarism codified into law and religion.

    The women have been raised as virtual slaves; there's no significant external pressure for them to change.

    The men there see no reason to change, or, if some do want a fairer system, they are in a tiny minority and have little effective power to press for a fairer system.

    True enough, the apologists can claim what they want to... I'll simply speak from experience. I've only lived in a few ME countries where such things as this never occurred in fact, they were considered extreme and illegal (duh), I've got muslim friends, fuck I practically lived among them.

    And guess what??? the reason such things like this never occured, at least - not appear in an article, is simply the fact it was in an actually civilized country. Such countries consist of, for example Kuwait, or Bahrain. Can anyone picture the differences in these two countries economies and standard of living, versus those of others? X_X vast. bigger than the Grand Canyon X_X

    This tbh in my opinion, has nothing to do with the religion. The religion itself promotes the better treatment of women more so than the bible does. Yet we never hear of it in the news as such, it's always the opposite.

    There's alot more going on here than just someone using their manipulated take on a religion as a scapegoat. It's simply they themselves carrying this all out, whether it be in the name of god or what have you doesn't matter. this is tradition in its purest form for them, with religion stamped on it with twisted logic.

    Liar! They also claim their religion is the religion of peace and yet Google can tell you what people think of Islam because they are afraid of them.

    Muslims who claim Islam is fair and/or peaceful engage in some serious selective reading of the Quoran.

    No where in the Qur'an does it state that blame should be placed on a rape victim instead of the rapist. Whoever thought this one up is being influenced by cultural or ridiculous laws, and as I mentioned - outrageous cultural oppression.

    Stop picking the propaganda bullshit handouts from your local church drivel or what some bearded fuckhead dictating over a community says on television, versus legitimate copies of a book - not "unique" printings that are considered blasphemy yet still employed to deceive the mass.

    Im an expert about Quran, I hate Sand Niggers with all my heart so I invest a LOT of time researching and reading.
    I finished reading Quran 2 times already.

    Ill explain about Rape in ShitSlam:

    In islam A womens word = Half of mens word
    When women is raped she HAVE to find at least 2 other man that can prove it happened.
    As usually it Dosent happen, she is judged for adultery.
    Thats why you see rape victims punished in muslim countries, its called SHARIA LAWS.
    And thats why rape is extremely common in muslim countries, its much more wide spread then in 3rd world countries, becuase no women will report the crime.
    Even in country like Saudia, she will get punished

    UMM okay never read the Qur'an and I am an atheist soo take that at for what you will. Now I do think that Drek has a point about economies effecting the level of shall we call it "philosophical thinking" of its citizens but im pretty sure you are wrong Drek in your assertions that these things are not a part of the "true religion". You see the way i take it is that religion is more than what is written in one book. It is its peoples way of thinking and how closely they adhere to the writings. Now as for the whole "religion of peace" garbage in my eyes all religions justify killing/destroying that which they deem as evil in one way or another therefor all religions are of violence. (not that violence is a bad thing just that people have been perverted in its definition i.e. you could not have been born without the violent actions of your parents having sex)

    i think that in the end the only guy that got it right was Socrates/Plato.

    ibraha01:
    people do stupid things muslim ,jewish ,chrstians , and any other religion , they all could rape , kill , commit suicide ,and other awful things , their religion doesn't matter ,but a lot f time people who don't know their religion well take matters in their own hands and mess things up .
    for example i remember reading in history that the church used to give people who give a sizable donation a receipt saying that they will go to heaven ,that happened because people didn't know their religion well enough and let priests tell them what to do .
    in this case the whole thing is unfair to the girl and the judgment was wrong to not an islamic judgement , it was just stupid and barbaric village judgement .
    in islam , if a girl is raped , she is NOT held responsible for anything , the rapist's punishment depends on if he's married of if never married , if he never married before his punished is being whipped a 100 times and banished and fined heavily, if he was married or even divorced he is heavily fined and executed by stoning to death , but if the rapist was using a weapon like a knife or a gun to threaten the victim then he is executed regardless of his marital status .

    the punishment in this girls case is unjust according to islam ,even if she hid the fact that she was raped , her punishment would have been very minor(because she hid the fact that she was raped not that she was raped because her rapist could have raped another girl and she didn't report) .
    the fact is that there a lot of thing we don't know about the case to judge .
    maybe it happened like the this report said and as i said a terrible injustice happened , or maybe some facts were removed to try to make islam look bad like some racist bigots do , here another way to look at it (start detective conan mode):
    maybe the girl wasn't really raped but was having a relationship with her boyfriend but was discovered by her parents and married off , and her new husband discovered that she was pregnant by another man(her "rapist") and divorced her , and reported it to the village elders who judged that girl commited adultery and so they had her whipped and the father fined , but what i don't get is why the let the "rapist" walk free his punishment should have been the same a the girl 100 lashes .

    I'm sick of this islamphobia in the west. Christianity is the same, the only difference is that most of our countries managed to keep religion outside of government and law. If we are to bash one of the abrahamic religions, I say we bash them all. No real difference between them.
