Rape case: Delhi court frees man, cites Muslim law

New Delhi: A Muslim man has been absolved of charges of illegally confining and raping a minor from the same religion, whom he had married later by a Delhi court. The court cited the Mohamedan Law that allows a 15-year-old girl to marry against the wishes of her parents.

The accused was charged with rape and illegal confinement under the IPC.

The IPC treats a girl as minor, in relation to the offence of rape, till she attains the age of 16 years and establishing physical relations with her, even with her consent, is an offence entailing life term as maximum sentence.

Additional sessions judge (ASJ) Illa Rawat said the girl was on the verge of maturity when she voluntarily eloped with the accused last year and her parents were also aware of their relationship.

The court added that she was neither restrained nor confined forcibly and they got married after an FIR was registered.

The court said the Mohamedan Law does not consider as an offence the marriage with a 15-year-old girl.

15 years old? Why that’s almost the age of a grandmother in the Middle-East. Wait..., I think IT IS the age of a grandmother in the Middle-East.

Fair enough, this is Islam, women do not have rights and these same scum condemn other people’s violations of human rights.

As I understand it “Dear Leader” on FR refers to the commie-muzzie now residing in the white hut.

OK, I get it. He, the One, goes by MANY names but the sad bottom line is his approach and performance on every stinking issue he has handled.

I agree. And yes he goes by many names, all as endearing and respectful as he deserves.

I just cannot fathom the extent of damage this man has done domestically and abroad. It is so widespread and deep as to be termed nearly “catastrophic”.
America is weak and it's leader gives off a “kick me in the rear” aura to the rest of the world. This is very bad for the planet as a whole. No USA exerting influence means power vacuums such as we see in the Middle East.
When a country closes down most of it's Embassies and then reveals too many details as to why then how can you state that “Al-Qiaeda is on the run”?
Everything is counter-logic, counter force projection. It really is soft (limp) power...

“15 years old? Why that’s almost the age of a grandmother in the Middle-East”

Go ahead and make fun, but it’s also becoming the age of a grandmother here in the US after having 3 welfare babies by three different baby daddys.
