DAY 190 (Truth that slaps on the face..!)
Horror, terror and unbelievable were the first thoughts that hit me when I came across this story. A place which is a paradise in scenic beauty is practising such ridiculous and heinous laws that I am still in a state of shock as to what logic is inspiring them to continue practising it and not bring any change in the system! The incident goes like this- There is a girl in Maldives whose stepfather is accused of raping her repeatedly for many years and now she bears his child. And the great Maldives court says that she must be punished for "Sex outside marriage" and she is gonna be whipped 100 times in public sometime soon. Mr. Waheed, president of Maldives is facing global pressure as I read in the news. But what is that pressure doing? Is it helping to change this unbelievably ridiculous system? Is it changing the law? Will she be spared? I guess not. It'll be a matter of shame probably for other citizens of Maldives and they might go for protests at the max...
