@Syed A. Mateen: I wish if the mothers, sisters and daughters of the beasts, sooner or later, should face the similar situation

Do you mean doing justice like what was done in Mukhtar Mai case? I know in Pakistan a murder can be forgiven in exchange for blood money given to close relatives. Is there some thing like that for rape victim where one can given "semen money" in exchange for punishment for rape.

@Syed A. Mateen: Why should the women of the accused's family pay for his crime? Why can't you just wish for exemplary punishment meted out to the accused? It is time our society stops blaming and punishing the women for everything bad that happens around them.
