#2 This is actually extremely good. It shows authority taking charge and issuing an appropriate penalty, quickly and with minimum debate. None of this "blame the victim" crap.

And you can bet both that every other girl will be emboldened to object in the future when attacked, and the word will get around to the young men to watch their manners, or else.

#3 Will she be murdered or merely hideously mutilated by acid?

#6 I still am a firm believer that women, even in desperately poor countries, need to develop a female ethic that requires them to carry any kind of bladed weapon, and to cut a man who attacks them.

Even a piece of broken glass can give a nasty gash, which is darned effective in stopping aggressive males. And once enough women start carrying, men will have no choice but to behave better.

#7 I agree, Moose. The best self-esteem and self-protection metho is by having the means to defend youself. A blade, a razor, and the willingness to use it, would make current Islamic culture crazy. I'm ggod to go with that. I don't fear women, cuz I don't mistreat them
