Village Council orders two Indian sisters to be gang-raped after brother eloped with a married woman




PANews_P-a3e2130f-a96f-4c1f-905d-c871051376dc_I1An all male council in an Indian village has ruled that two sisters, aged 15 and 23 will be repeatedly raped to pay for their brother’s wrongdoings.

The girls will have their faces blackened and will be forced to walk the village naked because their brother eloped with a married woman. The ruling was made in a remote Indian village in the Baghpat district.

According to Indian news, their brother, named Ravi, fell in love with a woman from a higher chaste, the Jat chaste and may be expecting a child with her. The woman’s family married her off but she escaped to elope with Ravi in March. His two sisters and their family fled the village in May, shortly after their house was ransacked.

Amnesty International has said that these kind of unelected village councils are widespread in parts of India.A petition demanding the evil ruling be reversed has been launched by Amnesty International and has already been signed over 40,000 times.
