Islamabad - A tribal council in central Pakistan has ordered the surrender of the wife of a rapist to the child victim's father for retribution, media reports said on Tuesday.
The council, called a punchayat, was convened in a village near the Punjab Province city of Multan, located 380km south of Islamabad, after police refused to register a case against a local man for assaulting the minor.
Brothers of the accused man had initially offered one of their four daughters in compensation for the crime, the newspaper Daily Nation said.
But the council decreed that the father of the victim could wreak revenge on the man's wife, who upon hearing the verdict moved to her parents' home for protection.
Tribal law still applies in many rural areas of Pakistan and it is not uncommon for women and children to be "given" to aggrieved families during the settlement of feuds. - Sapa-dpa
Sick, twisted, perverted “justice”...
Apparently in Islam, Women=cattle(or any commodity), but don’t expect N.O.W. to speak out about that.
So the brainiacs set in motion a chain of violence against women and children? What about the victim’s mother? What’s she going to think when her husband arrives home with the other woman he’s supposed to “wreak revenge upon?” Oh yeah, that’s not suppose to matter. I keep forgetting.

Interesting, for the Islamist, females are just barter. I wonder where N.O.W is right now?
Yeah, it's George W. Bush that we really need to worry about "setting women's right back". Right?
To these people it merely means the trading of two pieces of meat.
She takes the heat for the rapist. Sheesh. In islam no woman is safe ever. How about holding the perv guilty and stoning HIM to death for it?
Sharia Law - coming to a neighborhood near you.
Disgusting animals!
Then, when returned to her husband (like a lawn mower borrowed from a neighbor), she will be subject to an honor killing for having been with another man.
Yep. Morally equivalent to our society. Yessiree.
What a coincidence, isn’t this the same as the house rules at the Playboy mansion?
Which, IMO, should be the SECOND shot. Plant the first one a couple feet (or so) lower.
Actually... the girls have a say in how they're expected to act. They do as they're told with whomever Hef tells them too... or they leave.
hmmmmm..... you're right! It is the same... women are a commodity at the mansion too.
(seriously... both are sad cases)
