A Nigerian man has been sentenced to death by stoning for doinking having sex with his teenage step daughter. The court in the northern Nigerian state of Bauchi has ordered the execution of a man who admitted having sex with his 15-year-old step daughter. The man, Umar Tori, is facing death by stoning. His step daughter, who accused him of rape, has been sentenced to 100 lashes. The girl says her step father forced her to have sex with him in a field near the family home in July last year. She is now pregnant and the court has ordered that she will not be lashed until she delivers her baby.
| My initial gut reaction on reading this was "Yeah, do him in!" Then my brain kicked in, about the time I got to the part about the girl getting 100 lashes. Pop deserves the 100 lashes, though not to be buried under a pile of rocks. The girl's 15 years old, which to me would make it statutory rape in a civilized country; even if she was a willing particpant, she wasn't old enough to say "yes." The more episodes like this that crop up, the more likelihood, remote though it may be, that the rest of the world will sneer at the word "shariah." My personal opinion is that putting on a turban turns you into a pervert. |
