45-year-old woman raped to settle loan
The woman lodged an FIR with the Bana Marhi police station on Saturday, stating that her husband Farid Gul had taken a loan from a family member, which he was not able to return on time. Upon increased pressure from their relative Raj Wali, her husband told Wali that he could sleep with his wife in order to settle the loan.
“My husband came to our house with the man and told me to sleep with Wali. When I refused to do so both men overpowered me,” she told the police, adding that with the help of her husband, Wali raped her after which both men left.
Police said the woman had registered an FIR under sections 376 and 109 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC). “We have registered an FIR under the PPC and Hudood Ordinance,” he said.
SP Asif Iqbal told The Express Tribune that said several raids had been made but the police have failed to make any arrests. “I am hopeful that the accused will be arrested soon and they will face trial in court.”

i think we need to stop with both muslim bashing and male bashing. these are both forms of generalizations which do not suit an educated audience. what we need is condemnation and swift action against these animals.
nothing muslim about this. just regular @#%$ men showing brute force, because they can. so stop it with the muslim bashing!
Where in the Muslim world are women given "equal rights"? The phenomenon of women regarded as low-status is at the heart of islamic culture.
Mindset of treating the woman as commodity still exist in some society of Pakistan and they proudly call themselves Muslims in the land of pure. Givng equal rights to them is a distant dream.. Keeping half of the population of a nation in such a sorry state of affair how the progress of the nation can be achieved ?
men continue to amaze me..like seriously this is your standard of morality ?he should have accepted being killed than offering his wife as a scapegoat..so women have become a commodity..wow!
