Extraordinary events have taken place inside a Kabul courtroom this week. Back in May, a 10-year-old girl was raped inside a mosque in a remote Afghan village. The mullah responsible – Mohammad Amin – had asked three young girls to clean for him when he started behaving inappropriately. The girls made a run for it, only one of them tripped and fell in a stream. Amin dragged her back inside the mosque, where she was raped and left with serious injuries. According to Sharia Law, which the Mullah tried to rely on in court, rape is considered a form of adultery for which both parties are responsible. Amin’s defence lawyers argued that he should be sentenced to 100 lashes and then released – but that would have meant the girl also receiving the same punishment. However, Judge Mohammad Suliman Rasuli slammed Amin’s defence, pointing out that the victim “cannot commit adultery; she is a child. This is rape.” Instead, the judge sentenced Amin to 20 years in prison.

Stupid guy. If he had sneaked into America across our southern border he could have done the same thing in the mosque in Houston and nobody would have said a word.
“...cannot commit adultery; she is a child. This is rape.”
Bravo.
Yes!
Too bad the sentence couldn’t have been prison + lashes.
... Aisha?
Well, I truly am surprised. From the things one reads about Islamic culture and sharia, I would have thought the girl would have been stoned as an adulterer, or at a minimum honor killed, and the man set free. Kudos to the judge, and let’s hope her family doesn’t feel the need to restore the family “honor”.
If you read to the end of the article, the father wouldn’t even talk to his daughter.
And then she’ll have to marry him when he gets out because she’ll be older ....
This ruling is profound, beyond “extraordinary”... I can only imagine the cultural outrage, however... I mean the girl’s father is acting as to be expected. I fear that her life is going to be short or very unhappy.
Yeah, poor girl. It’s bad enough to be targeted and attacked by a rapist, but to be shunned and punished for being the victim? People are so cruel.
Rapist in prison. Do they amputate the instrument of criminality
Cruel. Beyond cruel, but we are talking about sn inferior culture. They literally don’t know any better.
I went back and reread the end part. I feel so bad for this girl.
