An Indian teen was raped by her father. Village elders had her whipped.
Washington Post ^ | May 9, 2016 | Annie Gowen

MAUJE JAWALWADI, India — The teenage girl, dressed in pink, sits in the dirt before six community elders.

In a scene captured on a cellphone video, one of the men wags his finger angrily at her. He rages: This girl must be punished.

A villager ties her waist with rope, holding the other end, and lifts a tree branch into the air. She bows her head. The first lash comes, then another, then another. Ten in all. She lets out a wail.

Eventually the crowd starts murmuring, “Enough, enough,” although nobody moves to stop the beating. Finally, the man throws down his stick. It’s over.

She is 13 years old. Or maybe 15. Her family doesn’t know for sure. She has never set foot in a school and has spent most of her life doing chores at home, occasionally begging for food and performing in her father’s acrobatic show, for which she is given 20 rupees, about 30 cents.

Her crime? Being too scared to tell anyone her father raped her.

This is the Democrat strategy for rape - destroy the defenseless victim or baby, but mercy for the rapist.

RE: An Indian teen was raped by her father.

Whew, for a moment I thought it was a native American. The confusion Columbus wrought still haunts us today.

Why didn’t the author of this article try to step in and do something about it?

just another example of how worthless the UN is regarding their espoused human dignity and equality for all the world. Kill the father of that little girl and let her beat the crap out of the guy that beat her.

Because the author is a true lefty multiculturalist. . .no culture is better than another and besides, if the author interfered that would be judgmental and being judgmental is the greatest of all sins, don’cha know.

You mean incidents like the Belgian paratroopers who roasted the Somali boy while wearing the “elite” baby blue of the UN peacekeeping force...?

You would think that the lesson from this is that multiculturalism is a pile of crap, that some cultures are indeed better than others.

But because this is from the Compost, what lesson do they learn? What narrative do they push? Why, the problem is evil men and patriarchy.

Here’s a couple of quotes from that piece of trash:

“Yet patriarchal prejudices ingrained for centuries have been tough to shake loose despite a growing clamor for change”

“Male-dominated village councils have existed in India for centuries to resolve disputes between neighbors and serve as enforcers of social mores”

Due to the “religious rights” of the rapist and his “culture”, IMHO.

The article doesn't say. But definitely not Christian or Jewish.

Hillary would have defended the father and had a great belly laugh when he got off.

Maybe that’s why religious freedom (believe anything you like) should be kept apart from religious liberty (you can do anything your religion tells you to do).

You could tell by the names that they are Hindu.

(But then you’d need to read the article. And as everybody knows, reading the articles is frowned upon.)

Too late. The local government arrested the people that were responsible for the beating.

(You wouldn’t know that unless you read the article. But then, who would ever think of reading one of the articles?)
