The online newspaper examiner.com tells us an absurd story, but is not difficult for us to believe that can be real.

 

In Saudi Arabia a young woman, we don't know any detail about her, was victim of a gang rape.

The Kingdom's General Court has sentenced for her the punishment of 200 lashes and six months prison, because, according to sharia law, is illegal for a woman to get on board of a car without a man of her family.

In the stard the Court decided for 90 lashes, but after the objections of her lawyer.

 

In 2006 the woman got on board of a acquaintance's car in order to retrieve a photograph from him. They were in front of his high school. There two men, who none of them knew before, got on board and drove to a secluded area where five other men met them. The gang beat the friend of the woman and raped her.

 

The strict rules of the sharia law, the Islamic code law, are known in all the world, as the easy extremism that can be used in court. But the matter is not this. The fact that a woman, victim of abuses, is considered, somehow, maker of her sad destiny is a common mechanism in the most underdeveloped societies. In Saudi Arabia a woman can be punished for this, in other countries can be cut off the society that will consider her the reason of her pain.

 

These two forms of ignorance are both equally dangerous, because equally harmful of the human dignity, dignity that should be admitted for every woman - is better to remind it - as it happen for every men.
