New Delhi - A young Indian woman, allegedly raped by her father-in-law, has been ordered by village elders to live with him as his wife, said a report on Wednesday.
The Asian Age daily newspaper reported that Muslim clerics who served as village elders in Uttar Pradesh, India, decided that the woman's rape by her father-in-law had "nullified" her marriage to her husband.
The 28-year-old woman, the mother of five children, married rickshaw-puller Noor Mohammed about 10 years ago in Charthawal village.
The report said her father-in-law, Ali Mohammed, allegedly raped her while her husband was away at work nearly two weeks ago, but the husband ignored his wife's complaints.
It said the wife had decided to walk out on her husband, but family members pressured her to stay and the matter landed before the council of village elders.
Rape case filed against father-in-law
The newspaper said clerics ordered her to stay with her parental family for seven months and 10 days to become "pure" again before taking up her new life as her father-in-law's wife.
It quoted one Muslim cleric as saying that on her return to her home, she would "then be like a mother" to her husband.
Police said they had filed a case of rape against the father-in-law and planned to arrest him soon.
Police chief Surendra Yadav told the newspaper that "we have registered a case" after getting statements from the victim and her mother.
The state of Uttar Pradesh is one of India's poorest and most underdeveloped regions.
Ping...
What a religion!
Much of the Muslim world is a gulag for women.
B@stards, these brainwashing sons of b!tches, that the Muslims call mullahs.
Reform them, and you'd have reformed Islam, from the violent cult it is and has been throughout its damned history.
Is this a glimpse of the "'slammic paradise" the Talibunnies tried so hard to bring forth on Earth?
Another great opportunity lost, I'm afraid.
"Civilization" like this would make Neanderthals puke.
"You don't have to be insane to be a mooslim, but it sure helps."
No, wait a minute...you do have to be; all available evidence indicates this.
Lunatic 7th century cult of despair and depravity.
Is this the type of international ruling that the U.S. Supreme Court will invoke in the future?
American women living under Islamic Laws -- Sorry, just can't picture it!!
And destined to remain that way.
Welcome to a screwed life!
Makes sense to me, if up is down and square is round.
What a grandpa! /sarcasm
I can hear the kids yelling "grandpa-daddy" as he walks through the door each night.
Not only is Islam a religion of peace, it is a very innovative religion! :^)
When will the muslims wake up, realize they are islams first victims and destroy the cult from within. MohamMad was a rapist, murderer, and a slaveowning pedophile. This is what you get if you keep following his example.
Last year, the Saudis decided to unilaterally take away their women's right to vote.
Gee. There a pattern here?
:^/
Nice to see the UN & US Democrats have been publicly outraged by THAT decision.
Can't match Gitmo, tho.'
I suggest the victim pull a "Lorena Bobbitt" on the father-in-law. Is that a crime under sharia?
"Police said they had filed a case of rape against the father-in-law and planned to arrest him soon."
Why not arrest him now? I pictured Indian law as being more enlightened, caring about the little people, Gandhi and all that.
LOL... you've just given me another idea to submit to "Ask the Imam."
Don't doubt that it will be. Canada is already allowing shari'a courts to operate there, and you can bet your bottom resnicoff that because of its large muslime population, Michigan will soon have a big push for shari'a courts to operate there, based upon the "uniqueness" of muslime needs (translation: "We are the overlords, the Uebermenschen, the rest of you are dhimmis, the Untermenschen. We are above the law, you are beneath it. We are the Nazis....oops....muslimes. We have spoken."). And I'd bet real money that chief traitor John Conyers will be behind any such moves, as he's already tried to give Mein Koran protected status under US law.
If the government in this country is already so castrated that they refuse to deal harshly with those who would destroy a civilization that has taken thousands of years to develop, then they need to be thrown out and people who will truly defend our Constitution and way of life need to be put in.
"Much of the Muslim world is a gulag for women."
All of the Muslim world is a gulag for women. They are slaves. Men can trade them, abuse them, and even kill them, just like any other property they own, so long as they do it in accordance to rules set down in the Koran.
It is a sick twisted culture of pure evil.
Probably because it has a Muslim majority. Keep them poor and stupid and self-destruction seems like a blessing.
