Two totally irrelevant news. I am from Pakistan. I know lots of horrible stuff that goes around. But this is no different from horrible stuff that happens elsewhere in the world.

People no matter where they live or what religion or culture they follow can inflict horrendous crimes against weak. That's what happened in the news you linked in a low belt attempt.

To be frank though, the first sentence in your article is "Fourteen members of a Pakistani village council have been arrested for ordering the rape of a teenage girl as punishment..."

Read the whole article. It was sanctioned and the families participated.

> It was sanctioned

sanction /ˈsaŋ(k)ʃ(ə)n/ Learn to pronounce

give official permission or approval for (an action). "the scheme was sanctioned by the court"

The article states that they have been arrested, so it was clearly NOT sanctioned.

sanctioned != not illegal

I wouldn't judge an entire country from two pieces of news...

lol!
