August 29, 2015 India Town Council Orders Two Girls Raped As Punishment For Brother's Elopement By Rick Moran India, the largest democratic country in the world, is on the cusp of becoming a modern economic juggernaut.
But in many ways, it's still mired in the past, as is demonstrated by this outrageous action taken by a town council.
Meenakshi Kuwari, 23, and her 15-year-old sister, have been forced to flee their home after villagers ordered that they should be stripped naked and paraded with their faces blackened before being raped to atone for their brothers crime.
The case is just the latest high-profile incident of rape being used as a punishment by unelected village leaders or councils in rural India.
Similar cases have shocked the nation and the countrys Supreme Court has ruled the council judgments illegal but the practice persists in remote areas.
The family home was ransacked by furious villagers after her brother fled with a woman from a superior caste.
A hastily-convened assembly of the all-male village council in the district of Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh, north of Delhi, then handed down the rape punishment.
The two sisters and their father have fled to Delhi and appealed to Indias Supreme Court for protection if they return to the village.
The womens father has also raised their plight with the national commissions for castes and human rights.

Something tells me Sir Charles and I would get along just fine.
Funeral pyres at morning, hangings at evening.
One would think in a civilized society it would be difficult if not impossible to find men to execute the punishment (rape the girls) but I suspect that is not going to be a problem.
Until the caste system is stamped out, this evil will continue. They are probably burning widows still in the remote areas too.
In fact most of nations are still third world, even stone stone age in some places. But don't bother pointing that out to the rabid psycho multi-culturalists who think all people and cultures are equal. The insane in are beyond reasoning with.
Would not have been surprised had this occurred on the Pakistan side of the border. But India?
Didn’t expect it there. Delhi may intervene - now that the “crime/punishment” is exposed.
The Indian government should arrest this town council. This is a disgrace.
Say what?!?
Bet the sick perv council members would have had first shot at the girls.
Who in their right mind would take their family back there.
3rd world values
coming over the border every day
I have no doubt many of the pervert pride paraders would do it in a heartbeat if they could
America is becoming more 3rd world by the day too
If this was in Indiana, I figure it would be happening around Bloomington.
Hey, sorry to get off the subject, but what ever happened to that show with the character you use as an avatar?
Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.
Well said. We need more men like Napier.
What was it`s name? I saw a few episodes but never the start, I stream everything now so I`ve been hunting down old series I remember, and would like to find and watch this series from the start. As I remember, Chode was a raunchy character with a wry sense of humor, kind of a adult oriented ‘alien Bart Simpson’.
this is before it went to comedy central when it had MUCH more adult content
