Women having sex should be hanged: Abu Azmi shocker

Women having sex should be hanged: Abu Azmi's shocker on Yadav's rape remark.He is the chief of Samajwadi Party in Maharashtra, India.

SP leader Abu AzmiA day after Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav said boys commit mistakes, but should not hang for rape, his party's Maharashtra chief has given a new twist to the controversy.
Agreeing with his party's supremo, Azmi said, "...Any woman if, whether married or unmarried, goes along with a man, with or without her consent, should be hanged. Both should be hanged."

Replying to a question on Yadav's remark, the former Rajya Sabha member and sitting MLA told Mid-Day: "Rape is punishable by hanging in Islam. But here, nothing happens to women, only to men. Even the woman is guilty." Boys make mistakes, should not hang: Mulayam on rape

"In India, if you have sex with a person with consent, it's fine. But if that same person complains, it's a problem. Nowadays, we see a lot of such cases. Girls complain when someone touches them, and even when someone doesn't touch them. It becomes a problem then, and the man's honour is ruined in this. If rape happens with or without consent, it should be punished as prescribed in Islam," Azmi added.

National Commission for Women issued a notice to the state SP chief for his insensitive remarks.

Azmi's remarks, however, did not find favour with his son and SP's Lok Sabha candidate from Mumbai North Central constituency, Farhan Azmi, who disagreed with his father and advocated death penalty for rapists.

Speaking at a public meeting in Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday, Yadav had said, "Boys make mistakes. They should not hang for this. We will revoke the anti-rape laws."

Putting forward his own explanation for a spurt in rape cases among youngsters, the SP supremo had said, "Boys and girls befriend each other. When they fall out, a rape complaint is lodged. We will change this law and will make a provision for penalising people who misuse the law by filing frivolous complaints."

Yadav's comment drew strong reactions from political leaders as well as on the social networking sites.

Afghan woman jailed for being raped aims to change law

KABUL: 

An Afghan woman, jailed two years ago for adultery after she was raped by her cousin’s husband, is seeking a presidential pardon that her lawyer hopes could set a legal precedent for other women in a similar position.      

Gulnaz, now 21, became pregnant following the attack in 2009 and her baby daughter was born behind bars. When her pregnancy brought the crime to light, she was, like her attacker, convicted and jailed for the crime of adultery by force.

She was initially sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, but on appeal, this was increased to 12 years. A further appeal last week saw that cut back again to three years.

Gulnaz’s attacker received a 12-year prison term, later reduced on appeal to seven years.

Her case has drawn attention to the challenges still faced by Afghan women, 10 years after the overthrow of the Taliban regime that banned women from almost all work and education.

With foreign combat troops set to return home by the end of 2014, some activists inside and outside Afghanistan fear that women’s rights may be sacrificed in the scramble to ensure the

West leaves behind a relatively stable state. Human rights campaigners have condemned her conviction, and the court’s decision that she could go free if she married her attacker, which she later agreed to. He is still married to her cousin, but under Afghan law can take a second wife.

This requirement for her release has now been lifted, said her lawyer Kimberley Motley, of law firm Motley Legal, although she could not comment on whether Gulnaz would reconsider her decision to marry him.

“The fact that the court eliminated the portion of the sentence that says she has to marry this man is definitely something that supports the Elimination of Violence against Women law which was signed by the government,” Motley said.

“Once President Karzai chooses to grant her clemency, which I am very confident of, that will… set precedent and will show his support for the Elimination of Violence against Women act and his support for Afghan women.”
