I don't quite get the family construct here:

Two teenage step-sisters were arrested in Pakistan's Gujranwala, for allegedly setting their father on fire in revenge for rape

If they are step-sisters they can't share a father, if they did that would make them half-sisters not step-sisters.

But aside from that, it sounds like a pretty solid plan they found there, easy enough for teenagers and apparently effective.

It's his fault for wearing flammable clothing. He was asking for it.

Finally some good news

If he wasn't okay with being set on fire, his body has ways of shutting down things like that.

can we just call it an honor killing and let them go?

[-] SpiceDealer@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago

Honor killings are a one way street.

Man kills wife for advocating for women's rights? Halal. Allah approved.

Two girls enact revenge on their rapist? Absolutely Haram!

Iunno I feel like Indian women as a power block is pretty massive. Like half a billion people or something.

legalize setting rapists on fire

[-] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 day ago

I agree. I think that would be a good deterrent for rapists.

He did it to himself. You can't prove they did it! Even if they said they did they are suffering mental Stress.

"A medieval device for a medieval act."

(The quote I've only seen in viral images, not in any verifiable news sources, but it's memorable and relevant regardless)

Their mothers, both married to the deceased man, ...

Because of course.

[-] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 day ago

Idk, I feel like the problem here is that the late piece of shit dad's a rapist, not the polygamy.

[-] john89@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

He shouldn't have been able to get a wife, let alone two.

[-] john89@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah. It's a sick world we live in.

So many women are just cool with abuse.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Their mothers, both married to the deceased man, were aware of the alleged abuse but not the plan for revenge.

Yup. It’s fucked.

[-] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

What's that you say, sonny?

You say it was a blameless accident? What a shame. Oh well.

[-] ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lol 1 points 1 day ago

BRO Is India actually going to abolish their patriarchy? Wild.
