Let the islands go under water with this attitude towards women/rape victims. Good example of why Islamic Shari'ah law is a bad thing?

Why don't they, like, sew unmarried women's vaginae shut if premarital sex is so bad?
Well it is an extreme punishment she isn't being whipped because of the Rape and impregnation by her Step Father. The article states it as a punishment from another matter. She still shouldn't be flogged but facts and accuracy are important.
The government has also said they are looking into changing the law about per-martial sex. And she wouldn't serve the punishment until she turns 18 so she will likely never face the punishment if the government does indeed follow their word.

You know a community is bad when moderators lock a thread because "...this isnt the place to talk about it either seeing as it will get trolled..."
Very prevalent in Africa and some middle east countries. Its exactly how the second poster described it.

Very nasty stuff.
On topic, they said she would be beaten for engaging in premarital sex unrelated to her being raped. The good news is that she can choose to wait until she's 18 to take the flogging. Oh third world, you so crazy.
in some countries they do worse, they surgically remove either the clitoris, or another part of the vagina so that when women have sex they experience pain.
They call it something alone the lines of the female version of a circumcision.
its horrible, but in countries where religion is above the law of the land (or rather "is"), this is what happens.
Ikr? At least they're nice enough to wait til she's over her traumatic experience of being raped, impregnated, and having her baby killed by her stepfather to punish her for the sin of sex. If she's even "guilty".
Seriously though, violence against women and girls saddens me greatly, but Ive read enough of these stories to not be surprised anymore. Shit wont get better for a loooong time, if ever.
I had an anthropologist professor keep calling it that when the subject was briefly brought up in class. I wanted to punch her in the face for begin so friggen ignorant for someone that studies cultures of all things.They call it something alone the lines of the female version of a circumcision.
Its NOT circumcision when the process removes the entire clitoris, labia, via razor blades, and sewing what's left of the vagina up save for a tiny hole. All for the sole reason to prevent women from enjoying sex and so her future husband will have a guaranteed virgin wife. He gets to cut her open just like a gift box too. The woman has to go through that proccess of cutting and sewing every time she gets pregnant again and again. Why the flying fuck is it SOOO IMPORTANT that women (only) be virgins until a man claims her? Its astounding how so many cultures value female virginity that high to create cruel punishments to enforce it.
^Okay I lied. I still get mad when I hear of this kinda bs violence against women.
Should we pretend that we're chocked over this completely unexpected behavior?
I don't understand it, either. If you're living in a situation where children are important (both for free labor and for the whole dowry/bride price thing), wouldn't you'd be more interested in a woman that's already had a kid or two? At least then you know she's survived childbirth already, and isn't barren.
Honestly, picking a virgin out would be a hell of a gamble, IMO. What happens if she dies in childbirth, or worse, ends up being barren? Whoops, try again?
How this nutcase religion hasnt yet destroyed itself is beyond me. Is there really no-one in there that thinks that punishing a rape victim is like.. you know.. fucked up?
I just dont understand how these hives of evil like sharia and North korea havent yet devoured themselfs on their own filth and cruelty. Day after day we hear of all kinds of screwed up shit going on in those places and still they paddle on.
