Women protested outside parliament as the debate was held
Until now, rape cases were dealt with in Sharia courts. Victims had to have four male witnesses to the crime - if not, they faced prosecution for adultery. Under the amended law, the civil courts will be able to try rape cases according to the British-influenced penal code.
I am trying to think what the supporters of Sharia are thinking.How deep rooted the feeling of "second-class status for women" would be in the minds of these men ?
Do we know how to rid people of blind faiths which have become pillars of their paradigm of the world ?
Its so damn frustrating. They just wont listen to you, because they think you are talking "non-sense". Its like teaching a mad person to do something civil.
Side note :
I watched Dor yesterday. Very nice work by Kukunoor to play on this theme. It had a street play feel to it.
