The Wonderful 'Justice' of Sharia

Via The Adventuress:

An Indian Muslim woman who was raped by her own father-in-law has been ordered to divorce her husband by the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board. (Muslims in India have their own sharia-compliant laws and courts that apply to divorce, child custody, inheritance, and other family matters -- something that some Muslims are seeking to introduce in the West as well.) The woman and her husband have five children: "As per the Koran, Imrana's conjugal relationship with her husband stood dissolved since she has been raped by the latter's blood relative," the board's woman member Begum Naseem Iqtedar Ali told reporters here. "Had she been raped by anyone other than a blood relation, she could have stayed with her husband ... but here a sacred relationship had been violated, the consequences of which have to be borne by Imrana and her husband Noor Ilahi," she said. But Imrana could remarry if she wanted to, she added.
