If he wasn't okay with being set on fire, his body has ways of shutting down things like that.

He did it to himself. You can't prove they did it! Even if they said they did they are suffering mental Stress.

legalize setting rapists on fire

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I agree. I think that would be a good deterrent for rapists.

Their mothers, both married to the deceased man, ...

Because of course.

Yeah. It's a sick world we live in.

So many women are just cool with abuse.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Their mothers, both married to the deceased man, were aware of the alleged abuse but not the plan for revenge.

Yup. It’s fucked.

Idk, I feel like the problem here is that the late piece of shit dad's a rapist, not the polygamy.

"A medieval device for a medieval act."

(The quote I've only seen in viral images, not in any verifiable news sources, but it's memorable and relevant regardless)

can we just call it an honor killing and let them go?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Honor killings are a one way street.

Man kills wife for advocating for women's rights? Halal. Allah approved.

Two girls enact revenge on their rapist? Absolutely Haram!

Iunno I feel like Indian women as a power block is pretty massive. Like half a billion people or something.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Seems fair enough.
