Muslim Brotherhood Minister in "moderate" Morocco: “Sometimes the marriage of a raped girl to her rapist does not really harm her"

Under the sharia a rape victim can escape punishment (for enticing her rapist, doncha know?) if her rapist marries her.

The left loves the Muslim Brotherhood; seems like they want to marry their rapists as well.

"MB-linked JDP Minister about the suicide of a Moroccan teenager forced to marry her rapist: “Sometimes the marriage of a raped girl to her rapist does not really harm her” Point de Bascule (thanks to Gisele)

The Minister of Family, Bassima Hakkaoui, opposed modifying the Moroccan Criminal Code that allows a man guilty of rape on a minor to escape his sentence by marrying his victim.

This text is based on three recent articles reporting about two teenagers forced to marry their rapist:

L’Express (August 2, 2012): Morocco: Benkirane does not amuse the king anymore (Maroc : Benkirane n'amuse plus le roi)

L’Express (March 15, 2012): Morocco: a teenager kills herself after marrying her rapist (Maroc : une adolescente se suicide après avoir épousé son violeur)

Yalibladi.com (June 27, 2012): Salé: Another young girl forced to marry her rapist (Salé : Une nouvelle jeune fille forcée d'épouser son violeur)

Section 475 of the Moroccan Criminal Code allows a man guilty of rape on a minor to escape his sentence by marrying his victim.

Often, the rapist’s family puts pressure on the girl’s parents so that they keep quiet and end the situation by marrying the daughter. Forced to marry her rapist, Amina Al Filali, a 16-year old teenager killed herself in March 2012.

After women’s groups protested and asked for an abrogation of section 475 of the Moroccan Criminal Code, the Minister of Family, Bassima Hakkaoui, opposed changing the law “under pressure from international public opinion”. She added that “sometimes the marriage of a raped girl to her rapist does not really harm her.” Bassama Hakkaoui belongs to the Moroccan Justice and Development Party linked with the Muslim Brotherhood.

In another case reported by the Yalibladi.com website, pressures to marry the young raped girl came not only from the rapist’s family but from the Muslim judge (cadi) responsible for the district where she was living. The cadi advised her parents to marry her with her tormentor in order to cleanse the family honour and avoid hchouma (shame).

About

Because


  • "I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And then people tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pesthole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window - no, I don't feel how small I am - but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body."
    Ayn Rand
