If You are Raped in Pakistan YOU are the Adulteror - That is if you are a woman...

...well maybe not for so much longer.
In Pakistan, Sharia law requires that a rape victim find at least 4 male witnesses to corroborate the violation, otherwise the woman is tried for adultery. So to get it straight, get raped, and the silence of many greedy men causes you to be stoned? Yup.

A law has been introduced, which still needs to be ratified by some that would reverse this 1970's ruling about rape under Sharia Law. This is good news for women in Pakistan.

What is amazing is that religious leaders are against this because it will create a state of "free sex". Really? Is not forced rape already free sex, especially when a woman is raped every 2 hours in Pakistan and that is a conservative estimate.
