#1 Local clerics had said the rape had annulled the womanâs marriage to her husband and had ordered that she marry her father-in-law. âHer father-in-law has used her and she must marry him,â one of the clerics told NDTV television news, citing Islamic Sharia law.

Doesn't that sorta say it all? Even if they're squabbling about it, now, just the fact that anyone, anyone at all, could've thought this was the rational solution puts the "OverDue" (by about 1400 yrs) stamp on Shari'a. Just one of a zillion reasons why this pathogen needs to be put down, forever.

#2 an order by local clerics that the woman marry her rapist and treat her husband as her son.

Head-slapping moment of realization. I just remembered where they got this oh-so-charming idea.

From ol' Mo' himself. That's right, folks, the prophet of Allan (piss on him), is the model in this case. I can't remember the exact source -- one of the hadith, I'm sure -- but Mo' went to visit his son and his son's new wife. Turns out the new daughter-in-law was a nice piece, and Mo' got jealous. So Mo' did his frothing and twitching routine, then claimed that Allan had passed onto him a new message: His son MUST divorce his new wife.

The son -- and daughter-in-law -- were distraught, but what could they do? If they disobeyed, then one of Mo's holy men would slit their throats -- no acid available in those days, after all. So they divorced.

A few days later, Mo' goes into another fit of getting messages from Allan. This time the message is -- get this -- the ex-daughter-in-law has to marry Mo'!

So the "cleric" in this case is just applying his religion, the lessons of his "prophet". We really shouldn't be surprised.

#3 LOL, RC. Of course one must never forget that the famous and "tolerant" "four muslim males must witness adultery for it to be adultery" schtick wasn't so very tolerant after all. Folks were accusing one of Big Mo's wives (I think it was Aisha) of fooling around. So in another "prophetic" moment, God's Little Ol' Messenger revealed Allah's will: four mooselimb males had to witness intercourse to prove adultery. People often wonder how mooselimbs can be so oportunistic, callow and self serving. When the "model for all mankind" was himself oportunistic, callow and self serving, then it follows logically.
