Pakistans antivoldtægt lov.
Pakistan er ved at foretage et babyskridt imod civilisationen, da de vil forbyde voldtægt. Som det ser ud i øjeblikket, er der fri voldtægt i Pakistan. Staten og retssystemet blander sig ikke.
Pakistan's national assembly has voted to amend the country's strict Sharia laws on rape and adultery.
Until now rape cases were dealt with in Sharia courts. Victims had to have four male witnesses to the crime - if not they faced prosecution for adultery.
Now civil courts will be able to try rape cases, assuming the upper house and the president ratify the move.
Pro-voldtægt partierne er rasende.
Religious parties boycotted the vote, saying the bill encouraged "free sex".
A woman is raped every two hours and gang-raped every eight hours in Pakistan, according to the country's independent Human Rights Commission.
Det er langt fra sikkert om loven bliver vedtaget og endnu mere usikkert om den vil have nogen effekt.
