This case is illustrative of horrific situation of violence against women in Af 1) Rukhshana was forced into marriage by her family twice & ran away both times 2) She was stoned & the man she ran away with was flogged
3) Verdict for the stoning came from a Taliban commander, a man whose brother's proposal for marriage was rejected by Rukhshana 4) There r more victims in this story: sister of the first man Rukhshana run away with was forced into a marriage as punishment for her brother's deeds
This devastating & infuriating story is an indication of deep rooted injustice & violence against women in our society, the insufficiency of our legal system, the devastating impact of conflict on human rights & lack of justice for women victims of violence.
Apologies and correction re point 4) Farzana (pseudonym for Rukhshana's sister) is forced into marriage with her sister's first husband.
