These "village councils" treat women like commodity. Just to prevent more bloodshed and save male life, they exchange women.

Fourteen members of a Pakistani village council have been arrested for ordering the rape of a teenage girl as punishment for a rape committed by her brother, police said on Wednesday.

The incident occurred earlier this month in the neighbourhood of Raja Ram in Muzaffarabad, a suburb of the central city of Multan.

"A village council had ordered the rape of a 16-year-old girl as punishment, as her brother had raped a 12-year-old," said Allah Baksh, a local police official.

A police official told the Telegraph that the man allegedly raped the young girl, after which her family turned to the local village council to resolve the matter.

The council then ordered that the attacker's 16-year-old sister should be raped by the original victim's brother.

According to reports, the teenage girl was raped by the victim's brother in front of her parents and council members.

Village councils, formed of local elders, are a traditional means of settling disputes in Pakistan's rural areas, where courts and lawyers are not always accessible or trusted.

But such councils are illegal and have been under fire for their controversial decisions, especially regarding women.

A village council was involved in one of South Asia's most infamous cases of sexual violence against women when, in 2002, it ordered the gang rape of a woman called Mukhtar Mai after her brother was falsely accused of rape.

Ms Mai made the unusual decision to defy her rapists and take them to court. Her attackers walked free but she went on to become a high-profile women's rights activist.

Sack the local MNA for not ensuring that rule of law hasn't prevailed.

Sack the relevant law minister and the education minister.

Punishment for rape is clear. Implement it.

Since this is a mob planned affair. Terrorism charges should be made

[shahbaz baig]

call the media and hang all the members of panchayat with live coverage

Moral : if you have any problem, follow the Land Rule as written in Pakistan's Constitution./law
if not so you will also be punished, out of the Constitution/law

Shoot them all in the head and bury them in a ditch. What a horrible, evil bunch.

 

[Mugwop]

What's a panchayat?

 

[Thorough Pro]

This is not a "shameful act", its a crime of highest order. That panchayat should be tortured to death.

shameful act, all the panchayat leaders needs to be hanged by balls .

This is not a "shameful act", its a crime of highest order. That panchayat should be tortured to death.

Torture is a crime too under the Constitution of Pakistan.

They will be tried for

Rape
Obstruction of justice
Good Samaritan law
Holding Shadow courts parallel to Pakistans system. Terrorism act

 

[Thorough Pro]
