A 19-year-old Pakistani woman has been sentenced to death for reporting her cousin raped her at gunpoint.
She was asleep in her home in the South-western City of Rajanpur in the Punjab province when the assault occurred.
The young woman reported the crime to the local village court only to hear she was at fault for arousing the sexual desires of the rapist.
PBS calls Pakistani law a “delicate balance between religious and secular law.” However, life for women in Pakistan is anything but delicate.
The Council of Islamic Ideology, a committee of Islamic scholars, works with the Pakistani government to ensure laws align with Islamic teachings.
This young Pakistani woman’s impending murder is in many ways a warning.

how about just plain sanctioned murder?
If there is justice there, those that committed this rape should have been found guilty and imprisoned. This child was sacrificed to justify the immorality of this society!
PBS IS A WONDERFUL VENUE FOR DOCUMENTARIES, BBC PROGRAMS ETC. WHEN IT COMES TO NEWS THEY ARE ULTRA LIBERAL. THIS POOR PAKASTANI WAS RAPED BY HER COUSIN. TOLD THE AUTHORITIES AND THEN SHE WAS KILLED BECAUSE SHE HAD COMMITTED ADULTRY. WESTERN CIVILIZATION IS UNDER SEIGE EVERY SEC. MIN.HOUR OF EVERYDAY. THERE IS NO COMMON SENSE IN POLITICAL SITUATIONS.
These people live to kill they are so brainwashed there is nothing about them that is redeemable they are insane
Warped animals
CRIMINALS EVERYONE!!!
Nothing happened to the men
There is nothing delicate about it! Those people are monsters!
It’s so easy to think being a man means your right/able to do anything when a true man doesn’t need to pick on the weaker sex, or sneak attack,(bombing) or rape helpless children to feel like a man. True “GOD” doesn’t condone harming weakest in community instead of protecting and provideing for them!
What can we expect from the delicate PBS???
