Indian Sisters To Be Raped As 'Punishment' For Brother Eloping Two Indian sisters 'sentenced' to be raped and then paraded naked around the streets with their faces blackened in another example of India's scandalous 'village justice'
Barney Henderson By Barney Henderson 29 Aug 2015 Two sisters in India - one aged only 15-years - are to be raped as "punishment" for their brother running away with a married woman from a higher caste in the latest caste to shock the country. Meenakshi Kumari, who is 23, and her younger sister, will then be paraded naked with their faces blackened through the streets, according to a ruling from the all-male village council.
The sisters have petitioned the country's Supreme Court to be protected from the so-called "eye-for-an-eye" ruling from the village council in Uttar Pradesh state, 30 miles from the capital Delhi.
The family are from the Dalit caste, historically known as "untouchables". However, the brother fell in love with a woman from the higher, Jat, caste. The woman was forced into an arranged marriage in February with a man from her own caste despite her relationship, according to Zee news, citing the elder sister Meenakshi. The couple eloped in March, but returned to the village after the man's family were allegedly tortured by police. The village council then made its ruling that the Dalit family should be dishonoured to "avenge" the brother's supposed crime.

Also it was so naive of this couple to return to their village. The brother should have also made arrangements to protect his sisters. He knew how his elopment could mean unishment for his family
Relativism Slam!
The brother should disavow his marriage, and return to the village. If one hair is touched on his sisters, he needs to go muslim on the city counsel till all are historical figures.
Similar to obamaic filth.
In Yuba City, too, I heard.
Betcha they wouldn’t be raped and paraded if someone gave then 45s.
Has the council appealed to Slick Willy yet, to carry out the sentence?
They need a 2nd amendment. It’s so we can protect ourselves from governments gone bad.
But it’s the GOP that’s waging war on women.
Looks like their liberal elites are worse than ours...
And the political liberal progressive a##es want you to believe this is normal under thier religion or customs
