Her tragedy began in 2002 when her brother was accused of walking with a girl from a higher tribal group. <b>In a culture in which female bodies are battlegrounds for male honor, the village court ruled that he be punished with the rape of his sister. Bibi was assaulted by four men and paraded naked through the village. </b>
This is one brave woman I think. Was the tribe who forced her rape acting out of tribal rules or Islamic Law??? In other words, is it Islamic Law to have the sister of a suspect gang raped?
Sadly this is Tribal rulings. Not Islamic law in any way.
