LAHORE:
A clan pardoned a man of ‘rape attempt’ with their daughter after the family of the suspect offered their minor in return for the unlawful sexual activity to settle the dispute.
“This is the niece of the accused and you can commit rape with her to keep the crime balanced,” said a family member of the suspect to the parents of the victim.
“Either you people will commit rape with her or forgive the accused,” he further said.
“If your beloved has forgotten the Almighty and is unable to understand what sin he was actually committing, it does not mean that everyone in the society has forgotten God,” replied family members of the victim.
“How did the accused forget that he is a man of over 40 years, while the girl with whom he tried to commit the sin is like his daughters,” asked the victim’s family.
“We are here with the niece of the suspect who is also a minor and offering you to do what he has done,” one of the family members of the accused said.
“We are not such animals that we will rape a minor as you tried to do,” responded the victim’s family.
The family of the victim said that they had forgiven the accused and that God would decide the punishment for him.
The incident occurred in Burj Kalan area of Kasur where a minor girl went to purchase buttons from bazaar and was held by a barber when she crossed his shop.
The minor’s screaming invited the locality members who rescued her.
The locality members and victim’s family thrashed the barber badly and later the accused was admitted to hospital for treatment.
The minor who was subjected to rape attempt was seven years old, while the one who was offered in return was six years old.
It was not the first incident in Kasur as the city is known for such heinous activities.
