I think it's Hindu. The Ramayana is a Hindu epic, and Sita a Hindu goddess. The writer criticizes the treatment of rape victims in both India and Pakistan, though. "This is no different from the laws that deal with rape in rural Pakistan, which demand a total of four male eyewitnesses..."

I believe the latter requirement is Muslim. "The classical Maliki madhhab doctrine held that a case of rape has the same requirements as proving the case of zina: (1) four male witnesses who testify that they saw the rape and the act of penetration, or (2) confession by the accused." [Wikipedia]

I only went by the photo and the nearness to the Pakistan border. I assumed in error I guess. Awful regardless of which religion.
