Moroccan girl commits suicide after being forced to marry her rapist

[Locutus]

A 16-year-old Moroccan girl has committed suicide after a judge ordered her to marry her rapist, according to Moroccan media reports.

Last year Amina’s parents filed charges against their daughter’s rapist, a man 10 years older than her but it was only recently that a judge in the northern city of Tangier decided that instead of punishing him, the two must be married.

The court’s decision to forcibly marry Amina to her rapist was supposed to “resolve” the damage of sexual violation against her, but it led to more suffering in the unwelcoming home of her rapist/husband’s family.

Traumatized by the painful experience of rape, Amina decided to end her life by consuming rat poison in the house of her husband’s family, according to the Moroccan daily al-Massae.

According to the newspaper, this type of forced marriage is rooted in local rural traditions to safeguard the honor of girls who are raped.

Moroccan penal code exempts a rapist from punishment if he agrees to marry his victim.

Feminists have long demanded an amendment to this article.

Hafida Elbaz, director of the Women’s Solidarity Association told a-Massae that the article provides an opportunity for a perpetrator to avoid punishment.

I have to wonder just a little bit if it was really suicide or were there darker circumstances?

Fed up with Islam yet?

I would hope that the judge is sentenced to be hung by his testicles in a pool of water for 75 years.

At least they don't bite the foreskins off babies. That's one step above barbarism.

[Just the Facts]

Apparently it's a "Local rural tradition" in Afghanistan too. I wonder what other places we might discover this "local rural tradition" around the world.

O lookee here, it's a local rural tradition in Pakistan too:

The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has received information that A 12-year-old Christian girl was abducted and raped for eight months. The rapists have not been arrested because of their affiliation with a militant Muslim organization. The police are also refusing to order a medical checkup. The Judicial Magistrate of the area took her statement under section 164 Cr Pc (Criminal Procedure Code) but has not made any orders for her security. One of the rapist claims that he has married the girl but she denies that any marriage took place during her abduction and captivity.
The police have warned the Christian parents that it would be better to hand over the girl to her 'legal' husband (the rapist) otherwise a criminal case will be filed against them.

PAKISTAN: A 12 year-old Christian is gang raped for eight months, forcibly converted and then 'married' to her Muslim attacker

No. Way.

India too? India!?!

The victim faced a life as an outcast, ostracised and stigmatised by Indian society for being on the receiving end of a violent sexual crime.
But if her assailant married her, the shame would be lifted in the eyes of the local Muslim community.

So her shame would be lifted in the eyes of the Muslim community. What about the aforementioned Indian society? Would her shame be lifted in their eyes too? Or was there shame there to be lifted at all? Hey! Who was in prison here?!? lol

Another local rural tradition.

Quote the section of the Quran where it allows this.

I wondered how this would play out with the defenders of poor misjudged Islam. Getting sleepy now.

 

[gerryh]

Where Girls Marry Rapists for Honor

DIYARBAKIR, Turkey — Rojda was 13 when she was raped two years ago by a neighbor in this hardscrabble Kurdish province. In order to "cleanse" her honor, she was forced to marry her attacker in an unofficial Islamic-style ceremony.

:-(It is also very quick and easy to divorce there too. Might slow them down a bit if their ex wives had some rights.
