FORCING WOMEN TO MARRY THEIR RAPISTS
“While American
progressives remain in high dudgeon over a woman’s ‘right’ to ‘free’
government-provided contraception, a genuine woman’s rights issue has been
unfolding in Morocco. In Larache, 16-year-old Amina Filali committed suicide after
she was forced by a judge to marry. Whom did the judge force her to marry? Her rapist.”
“Article 475 of
the Moroccan penal code states that a rapist may be exonerated of his crime if
he marries his victim. The law is designed to protect the honor of the family,
which is considered stained when a woman loses her virginity prior to getting
married. Marrying one’s rapist ‘restores’ that honor and exonerates the rapist
of his crime.”
“Amina Filali couldn’t
cope with such ‘reasonableness.’ She
swallowed rat poison to escape her court-mandated fate. She joins countless other Muslim women who
have died or been killed for honor’s sake. Such “honor” is utterly incompatible
with Western values. The multiculturalists, whose entire philosophy rests on a
‘split the difference’ premise that all cultures are equally viable, are
terminally naive.”
