Read It and Weep: Islam Respects Women

As exemplified by treatment of Bangladeshi 14-year-old rape victims.
The reports said (14-year-old)Hena was raped by her 40-year-old relative Mahbub on Sunday. Next day, a fatwa was announced at a village arbitration that she must be given 100 lashes. She fell unconscious after nearly 80 lashes.

Fatally injured Hena was rushed to Naria health complex where she succumbed to her injuries.
The High Court has ordered officials to explain. I suppose that is something. Of course, the explanation may prove satisfactory.

There seems to be a pattern here, and here, and here, and here.
