DHAKA: Bangladeshi police said on Thursday they were investigating the case of a man forced to parade naked through his village with a brick tied to his penis as punishment for kidnapping and marrying a minor.

The punishment was meted out Saturday to the 30-year-old man by the local council in a village 30 kilometres (18 miles) south of Dhaka.

Police said he had kidnapped and then forcibly married a 12-year-old girl, who later managed to escape.

"The council chief and some village elders beat him and made him parade with a brick tied to his penis at a river ghat (steps) under the full gaze of at least 200 people," police sub-inspector Binoy Krishna Kar said.

Village courts are legal in Bangladesh but only empowered to settle disputes related to land ownership, inheritance and other minor issues. They are proscribed from handing down physical punishment.

Go Bangladesh!!

Now that is justice I can support

If Islamic countries intend to move to the 21st century they need to use their 7th century punishments to punish people who are in the 7th century.

Before this is pulled, no pun intended, I’ll just say I feel like that all the time.

Huh, I got an email from Bangladesh touting this as a male enhancement treatment. Who knew it was a punishment.

Make it a cinder block and have him swim the river, and then I’ll be satisfied. Otherwise, it’s far too lenient for a pedophile rapist.

Sounds like one of these "enlarge your manhood" stunts to me.

I read about them every day in my email.

Ummm, how big a brick?

This has "Mangled Genitals" written all over it.

Possibly, however, it's also Not A Ping.

As Duke Nukem would say, "That's gotta hurt ..."

> "That which does not kill me makes me longer."

OUCH!!!

Somebody has to find the YouTube of the guy in India who stretched it so far he wraps it multiple times around a stick and picks up a cinderblock with it.

Dude may have a future in bondage videos.

Why the assumption that Islam wants to move into the 21st century?

[Figment]

I wonder if they killed the girl for bringing shame on her family?

“the case of a man forced to parade naked through his village with a brick tied to his penis”

I betcha that made him Singh!

> I wonder if they killed the girl for bringing shame on her family?

Bangladesh is majority-Muslim, but not entirely. This was tribal law, tribal punishment, so it could have been Islamic or not.

That said, if the man had his way with the girl, and thus she is "defiled" and not suitable for marriage, her life is probably in danger.

May God grant her the strength and fortitude to run away and find a better life, if so.

Islam wants to revert the 21st century to the 7th.
