16 year old rape victim receives 101 lashes for becoming pregnant

This makes me sick :mad:

A 16-year-old girl who was raped in Bangladesh has been given 101 lashes for conceiving during the assault.

The girl's father was also fined and warned the family would be branded outcasts from their village if he did not pay.

According to human rights activists, the girl, who was quickly married after the attack, was divorced weeks later after medical tests revealed she was pregnant.

The girl was raped by a 20-year-old villager in Brahmanbaria district in April last year.

Bangladesh's Daily Star newspaper reported that she was so ashamed following the attack that she did not lodge a complaint.

Her rape emerged after her pregnancy test and Muslim elders in the village issued a fatwa insisting that the girl be kept in isolation until her family agreed to corporal punishment.

Her rapist was pardoned by the elders.

Sick sick stuff! But how did she survive 101 lashes? Was Jesus not subject to 40 and another one would have killed him.

Suppose you shouldn't believe everything you read or hear.. Bible included

I was only half joking. It's not the first time that a thread has been posted about a victim been punished for getting raped. It was Muslims the last time too

The Listowel thing isn't really the same at all.. the rapist was sent to jail, and the victim wasn't punished by law.. just humiliated by idiots

It's a man's world, well in the Muslim countries anyway.

101 lashes hey?

Smcgie · 26-01-2010 01:44PM

The irish version of the story would read something like this:

Man sentenced to 101 lashes after a woman accuses him of sexual harassment/rape. Turns out the guy simply said hello to her on the bus.

Maybe they use a smaller whip for women?

Maybe how they whip has changed in the last two thousand years?
Pretty sure Jesus was whipped with a whip with hooks for flesh.

I'm just adding my obligatory Listowel reference.

Then there is the sex abuse scandals here where the Guards and state services where complicit in a cover up with our so-called spiritual leaders.
Events that took place not that long ago.
Catholics the lot of them.

I wouldn't have agreed with that either. You're right though, I shouldn't tar all with one brush, I'm not trying to

It just doesn't surprise me that the people in this case are Muslim..

Riamfada · 26-01-2010 01:49PM

Muslims, Christians. Slipnot had it right, all humans are shit some just hide it better than others and see the evil in other peoples cultures and not the evil in themslves. And the PC brigade ... the most evil of all.

Now where was my sandwichboard and bell. Im in danger of becoming a Jesusfreak.

I didn't say the cases accorded exactly,I said there were similarities.
Whereby the male population deemed the female party to be the guilty one. The same medieval ,patriarchal thought-processes apply in both cases. Religion doesn't apply. (religion has just happens to have been hijacked by those very same thought processes)

So if there's a couple of murders in Ireland do you brand all Irish murderers just because the last one was the Irish too? I bet you don't have a clue about the Muslim culture. The different sections of the faith etc? Some extremists do exist, much in the way that the IRA and similar are around. Just because something is different or you don't understand it, there's no need to mock it.

I'm not looking to hijack the thread or get into an arguement over this, but it just p1sses me off when I see people saying, sure what do you expect, they're Muslims, or anything along those lines.

To sum up:

TOTAL unfairness in the case of the 16 year old.
(still in a country that is only showing itself up for the idiots that have allowed this to happen)

And as for Listowel, unfairness to in the treatment of the victim.
She too should not/still be not treated as "asking" for what happened and thus held not responsible (by some, coincidently - supporters of the culprit!).

Whats common in both cases is that to varying degrees, unfairness is disgustingly forced upon the victim, where as the culprit is overlooked and by some excused - again each case to varying degrees.

Nuff' said. Moving on...

They won't ask for aid. We will embrace them in the name of political correctness to slowly turn country by country into Muslim States of Europe. And when you want to organise Christmas in your child's school, you will upset them and in the name of the same political correctness you will be ordered to take the cross off the wall and be fined for being "racist" and "xenophobic". It has already started in UK.

I don't think anyone is denying that parallels between the two cases can be drawn, rather, they see a such a gigantic chasm between 50 people shaking hands with a man guilty of sexual assault, and the lashing of the rape victim 101 times, that they feel any such comparison is misleading, sensationalist, and unnecessary.

incorrect the vast majority of the male population here in ireland would deem that behaviour completely unacceptable and disgusting.

that behaviour in bangladesh is the done thing over there and they are fine with it.

miniscule similiarities if any

Some may feel that comparing the entire Muslim population to those involved in this case is misleading,sensationalist and unnecessary.

Ah the ever reliable rape joke. Complete with a winky smiley face to ensure you can still use the 'it's only a joke' defence.

So the entire population of Bangladesh is fine with this case?

Absolutely. However what each case shares (again, to varying degree) in the willingness by others to forgo decency and replace it with stupidity.
