A young Muslim woman has died during an ill-treated abortion surgery, after being raped and tortured in a remote village in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, the Eurasia Review website reports today (February 9, 2013).
Earlier, the rapist -- a 51-year-old man -- was convicted by a tribal court and ordered to pay a fine (about $5,000 in American currency) to the family of the victim. Police were aware of the incident, but deliberately remained silent and did not interfere into the matter to protect the rapist.
The victim of the incident could not survive the agony, torture, and humiliation of repeated sexual assaults, which she was facing for several months. The pregnant woman died when she was undergoing an ill-planned and mistreated surgery to abort delivery of the illicit child.
The incident was highlighted only after women social workers -- who helped in the funeral arrangements of the deceased -- found scars of brutal attacks over the body of the victim and a swelling on her belly.
