So far i know, In USA, In case of rape case, the dress of victim is considered. It is considered whether the dress of the victim was such that the rapist has got some instigation from her or not.
If the dress of the victim was very short and exciting, in that case rapist get some concession in punishment. this is from the consideration that the victim has also some rule in provocation for rape.
In islam ,it is for safety of women , women are not allowed to travell without a mahrom(men whom she can not marry)men . So breaching the security rule, she has some part in the rape for which she was punished.
We would like to see such forwarding when women from other countries also get such or more cruel punishment from Biplob pal.
Otherwise people may be confused why Mr. pal is so worried for Saudi Women.
With regards

In a shocking verdict, a Saudi Court has ordered a gang rape victim to undergo 200 lashes and six months in prison for "being in the car of an unrelated male" when the crime was committed.The 19-year-old victim was initially ordered to undergo 90 lashes by judges from the Qatif General Court, but the case was referred back to an Appeals Court after her lawyer had urged a harsher punishment for assaulters, the Arab News reported.In its verdict, the court, which punished the victim for "being in the car of an unrelated male at the time of the rape", also suspended her lawyer.The seven rapists, whose previous sentences ranged from 10 months to five years in prison, also had their prison terms increased to between two and nine years. The verdict came in as a shock to everybody.A source at the Qatif General Court said the judges had informed the rape victim that the reason behind doubling her punishment was "her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media", the report added.Saudi Arabia enforces a strict Islamic doctrine known as Wahhabism and forbids unrelated men and women from associating with each other, bans women from driving and forces them to cover head-to-toe in public.Is this CTG is better than Ershad in case of political party reform and anti corruption drive ?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sobhan Allah- Only Allah flawless
