Barbarism: In Northern Rural Indian Village, Two Young Girls Are Sentenced by a Council of Elders To be Raped As Punishment For Their Brother Running Off With a Married Woman From a Higher Caste

The girls -- and the brother -- are of the lowest class, the so-called "untouchables."

The brother had an affair with a married woman from a higher caste, the "Jat" caste. Their love forbidden, they ran off together.

The Jat family feels humiliated, and wants vengeance for this. (This is already barbaric.)

So the village council of wise men has come up with a great compromise that satisfies all parties -- the 23 and 15 year old sisters are sentenced to be raped, then paraded through the town naked.

Oh, and if this isn't offensive enough, they'll be in blackface when paraded naked through town.

This story adds a couple of details -- they're not just sentenced to be raped, but to be repeatedly gang-raped (I guess the council of wise men couldn't decide who'd get to do the raping, so they decided they all would join in).

The 23 year old has petitioned the Indian Supreme Court for protection. You'd think this would be a no-brainer, but these backwards-ass barbarians apparently have a lot of autonomy in their stupid, primitive tribal "justice" systems.

What this proves to me is that Western civilization is corrupt and awful and that we have to learn to appreciate the cultural contributions of undocumented Americans living in remote Indian villages.
