can we just call it an honor killing and let them go?

Honor killings are a one way street.

Man kills wife for advocating for women's rights? Halal. Allah approved.

Two girls enact revenge on their rapist? Absolutely Haram!

Iunno I feel like Indian women as a power block is pretty massive. Like half a billion people or something.

Seems fair enough.

legalize setting rapists on fire

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I agree. I think that would be a good deterrent for rapists.

"A medieval device for a medieval act."

(The quote I've only seen in viral images, not in any verifiable news sources, but it's memorable and relevant regardless)

If he wasn't okay with being set on fire, his body has ways of shutting down things like that.

Their mothers, both married to the deceased man, ...

Because of course.

Idk, I feel like the problem here is that the late piece of shit dad's a rapist, not the polygamy.

He shouldn't have been able to get a wife, let alone two.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah. It's a sick world we live in.

So many women are just cool with abuse.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Their mothers, both married to the deceased man, were aware of the alleged abuse but not the plan for revenge.

Yup. It’s fucked.

It's his fault for wearing flammable clothing. He was asking for it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

He did it to himself. You can't prove they did it! Even if they said they did they are suffering mental Stress.

What's that you say, sonny?

You say it was a blameless accident? What a shame. Oh well.

I don't quite get the family construct here:

Two teenage step-sisters were arrested in Pakistan's Gujranwala, for allegedly setting their father on fire in revenge for rape

If they are step-sisters they can't share a father, if they did that would make them half-sisters not step-sisters.

But aside from that, it sounds like a pretty solid plan they found there, easy enough for teenagers and apparently effective.
