The father of a girl raped by a teen relative in the eastern province of Erzurum has demanded land, cattle and that the rapist marry his daughter and the rapist's sister marry his son, according to a report by the Sabah daily on Monday.
The incident took place in the Tuzlata village of Erzurum's Çat district. The 13-year-old victim, E.D., was in the family stables taking care of a horse when she was attacked and raped by 15-year-old Fatih D. Children playing nearby alerted the victim's family, who found her unconscious in the stables.
The young girl told her family of the rape after she regained conscious and her family pummeled the rapist's home with stones, saying, “Give the rapist to us or else we will burn down your home.”
People in the village held a town hall meeting in order to try and find a resolution, and maintain peace between the two families. The father of the victim, Nizamettin D., who was in attendance at the meeting, said the only way he could forgive what happened was if Fatih D.'s family gave his family six cattle and a parcel of land; he also insisted that Fatih D. marry his daughter, and the rapist's sister marry his son.

All cultures are equal...
How romantic.
The cattle and land made the headline, but the marriage didn’t? Priorities!
rapes his daughter, makes her unconscious,
and the FATHER wants the rapist for a son-in-law?
-
wants his daughter to spend her LIFE with the rapist?
-
and Turkey, is a “moderate” Muslim country...
and Obama is apologizing for videos that simply speak the truth, about Muhammad being a pedophile sex maniac,
who even forced his son to divorce, so HE could marry his son’s pretty wife.
That poor, poor girl.
Future family gettogethers will be tense.
Deuteronomy 22 (NIV):
28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
and the FATHER wants the rapist for a son-in-law?
_____
that’s why the rapist’s sister has to marry the father’s son, the victim’s brother - she’ll be a hostage for the rapist’s good behavior to his wife.
Marrying the victim to the rapist was prescribed in the Torah - I suppose it is an improvement over killing her.
Getto Gethers?...Cool!
and the FATHER wants the rapist for a son-in-law?
Yeah, you would think he would have just beheaded her in the traditional honor killing! sarc
Most cultures have a stonger sense of statuatory rape//rape when both parties were willing—and I would venture to say that Israel was one of them. Treating translations as if every term is precisely equivalent in modern usage often leads to bad exegesis.
And putting aside all the other evil foolishness, what did the rapist’s sister do that required her punishment?
That explains a lot about prevalent endemic islamic imbecility.
Yeah that’s a great outcome for her.
Shouod’ve just killed the rapist and ended it there.
So does projecting modern attitudes towards rape, sexual assault and female rights into the past.
Under the Law, rape of an unmarried woman was in general treated as a violation of the property rights of the father. You may note no consideration is given to the preferences of the woman involved.
The Law of Moses and Sharia are remarkably similar in many areas, certainly far closer than either is to modern notions.
That isn't a problem for me, as nobody is trying to impose the Law on anybody today. The problem with Sharia is not that the Koran spells out certain outmoded practices, it is that many Muslims are trying to force others to live by it.
