I guess I just don't understand their system. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A25384-2002Feb17.html) For some reason it was found to not be "rape" in some legal sense, but was determined to be non-consensual sex. The distinction escapes me.

I can't imagine why the victim was punished. For the "impropriety" of reporting the crime to the authorities and making it a public matter? I can imagine that scenario in this kind of culture. Not too long ago, it was common to blame the victim in the West as well -- but even then, no one ever proposed additional "punishment" for the victim beyond the rape itself.

Seems like just another repressive regime. I wonder why aren’t we in there toppling this government as well? :bugeye:

Peace.

Lost the "www" somewhere along the line.
