Two Sisters To Be Raped As Punishment For Brother's 'Crime'
|
|
Your eyes do not deceive you. An unelected all-male village council in India has ordered that 23-year-old Meenakshi Kumari and her 15-year-old sister are raped.
The ‘sentence’ was handed down as punishment after their brother eloped with a married woman. They also ordered for the sisters to be paraded naked with blackened faces. Nothing could justify this abhorrent punishment. It’s not fair. It’s not right. And it’s against the law. Demand that the local authorities intervene immediately.
The sisters are from a village in Baghpat district in India. There, on 30 July, an unelected all-male village council (khap panchayat) ordered that they be raped and paraded naked, their faces blackened, as punishment for the actions of their brother.
The sisters and their family had already fled the village in May for fear of reprisals for their brother’s actions – he eloped with a married woman from a dominant caste (Jat). Shortly after they left their house was ransacked.
'The police said anyone can be murdered now'
Sumit Kumar, another brother of Meenakshi says that members of the Jat caste are powerful members of the village council, ‘the Jat decision is final’.
His family fears for their lives if they return.
Meenakshi has filed a petition with the Supreme Court asking for protection, and her father has lodged a complaint with two national bodies saying that both his family has been harassed not just by the family of the eloped woman (who are of the dominant caste and therefore influential), but also by the police.
They are also worried about the safety of the Jat woman, who is now thought to be pregnant with Meenakshi’s brother’s child.
Illegal courts
Unelected village councils such as this are widespread in parts of India. More often than not they are made up of older men from dominant castes, who prescribe rules for social behaviour and interaction in villages.
The supreme court of India has described them as ‘kangaroo courts’ and branded their decrees illegal, yet in some states they continue to operate – and their punishments are carried out.
Act now to demand that this disgusting ruling is not allowed to happen.

I'm not sure exactly how a petition is going to stop a decision that's been made by a court that is already illegal.

As Norwaytips said, there is little chance of this being passed. Especially since the press have already been informed and the stink the indian media have raised. And the "panchayat" who voted on this have no legal bearing. It's like mayor of a town passing a ruling at the local pub with two of his cronies
however, this part of Uttar Pradesh, is one of the most backward places in the State. And Uttar Pradesh is arguably in the 3 most backward states in India. You would never hear of this in Southern India for example.
A lot of these cases sadly also happen for economic reasons. As Indian cities grow out and land becomes expensive...the value of farm land skyrockets. In Haryana for example, which borders Delhi...farmers have gone from living with no electricity and no running water, to being multi-millionaires overnight as they sell their land to developers. (the grubby politicans also help themselves handily)
Now where the above case occurred is truly a shit hole and I can't see why anyone would want that land...but a few years ago...there was sadly similar cases in Haryana as developers looked to buy land and force anyone living there out. There were fake murder charges levied against dalit men, the females and elderly members of the family were then threatened...and most fled...Jat Landlords were then able to annex larger parcels of land to sell to developers. Sad.

I don't think it will happen. It is going to a district appeals court and they are certain to kick it out.
The sentence was passed by a local, village court of elders. It has no legal duristction and I imagine the will get a right bollocking.
So they bloody well should, by the way.

This is all very well.
But before feminists get round to rescuing third world women sentenced to rape as punishment for other people's crimes, or even their own crimes, they must first tackle the persecution of women in the third world via the sadistic use of bikini model advertisement photos on the tube, and the fashion and entertainment industry's oppressive use of slim and good-looking women.

What has it got to do with anyone else? This is their culture. And it leaves me with a warm feeling that such a culture has enriched the English culture over the last 40 years.

Apparently, "Sloppy Seconds" is a rank in the judiciary that mete out this punishment. Top of the tree is "Burstin' Firstin".
All the other porridge stirrers have to wait their turn and just hope their jizz is the one that extends their lineage.

I believe this petition is being organised by those hairy-armpit lesbians at Amnesty International - how very right on of them.
