um..wow
okay, I live in Saudia Arabia, and what many of you see arabs as, really isn’t true, I have to disagree “Debalina”
women aren’t men’s slaves, nor do we live in the old age, we are very modern and very advanced and educated, what’s funny is how many westerns think we go to school on camels, and that egyptians live in pyramids, i find it ridiculous how little you think of our society, and i think that especially reporters should stop accusing countries of shit they didn’t do. a women does not get lashed if she was raped, nor does any human being LIVE after being raped by 14 men, it isn’t physically possible. i guess many people have a limited idea of who we are, how we are, and how we live.

I totally agree with you.
I was shocked the moment I read newspaper article on this. I believe that every religion or as Muslims call it, rules, should change with time and adapt itself.
After reading different articles and newspapers and some more research on this issue, I found out that the Lawyer for the victim, after the trial was interviewed by media where it was expressed that the punishment for the culprits is very less as compared to the damage they have done. And that’s then the Lawyer was debarred from practising.
I don’t see any confusion here, as Nanda expressed.
It is just that the books and the rules and the judgements are age old, women are still mere slaves or sex-slaves, nothing else.
Without adaption, it would hard to survive. Darwin’s theory !

it’s not because sharia or something else impersonal, there always b a confused thinking had been played there, so it’s not depend on which more modern, so without referring to religion directly, why does people tends to corrupt the law?
