If he wasn't okay with being set on fire, his body has ways of shutting down things like that.

He did it to himself. You can't prove they did it! Even if they said they did they are suffering mental Stress.

legalize setting rapists on fire

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 18 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I agree. I think that would be a good deterrent for rapists.

can we just call it an honor killing and let them go?

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.world 31 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Honor killings are a one way street.

Man kills wife for advocating for women's rights? Halal. Allah approved.

Two girls enact revenge on their rapist? Absolutely Haram!

Iunno I feel like Indian women as a power block is pretty massive. Like half a billion people or something.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 17 points 20 hours ago

Seems fair enough.

"A medieval device for a medieval act."

(The quote I've only seen in viral images, not in any verifiable news sources, but it's memorable and relevant regardless)

Are they selling merch?

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 21 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Their mothers, both married to the deceased man, ...

Because of course.

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Idk, I feel like the problem here is that the late piece of shit dad's a rapist, not the polygamy.

[–] john89@lemmy.ca 8 points 17 hours ago

He shouldn't have been able to get a wife, let alone two.

[–] john89@lemmy.ca 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah. It's a sick world we live in.

So many women are just cool with abuse.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago

Their mothers, both married to the deceased man, were aware of the alleged abuse but not the plan for revenge.

Yup. It’s fucked.

[–] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 9 points 18 hours ago

What's that you say, sonny?

You say it was a blameless accident? What a shame. Oh well.

BRO Is India actually going to abolish their patriarchy? Wild.
