Tribal elders ordered a 20-year-old woman to be raped in public by up to 12 men for an 'unauthorised' relationship, police say

Informal village courts run by local male elders, such as that which ordered this most recent attack, are common across much of rural India and are frequently responsible for inflicting cruel, sometimes lethal, punishments for supposed social transgressions such as marrying without their prior consent. Such courts also frequently oblige relatives to take violent action to restore the “honour” of a community.

There is a simple solution. Ban tribal courts and execute every member who carries out any judgment or enforces a punishment.

Have you in the past written that you are against the death penalty?

How about an eye for an eye?
In this case the victim could be allowed to rape the tribal elders with a broom handle.
See how they like it. I'm sure it would put off othe tribal groups from using rape as a punishment again.

I really struggle to understand the mindset of people who even consider giving that as a punishment. :shock:

India is a really weird place, and don't think it's just the tribes. In the few months I was there I was taken to see the "god of beaten women" temple :S. I also got set upon when walking 50m down the road in Puna with a male friend by kids, that was rather scary.
I'm really not in a rush to head back there.

I've been. It's better if you go with people who know the area. As much as they have a space program and weapons, they're still a third world country. I suspect they still have a patriarchal hierarchy over there with women being repressed. I remember a BBC article about high rates of female infanticide.
