Pakistan Couple to be Stoned: Man Escapes, Woman Caught, Insecure “Inadequate” Judges…….
“ISLAMABAD — A couple have been sentenced to be stoned to death for alleged adultery in north west Pakistan by a tribal court, locals and officials said. The man involved, Zarkat Khan, apparently managed to run away, while the woman is in the custody of the tribal court, according to local residents. The incident occurred in a remote area called Kala Dhaka, or Black Mountain, that is part of the province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, which runs adjacent to Afghanistan. The death sentence, handed down in a Manjakot village last month, will be carried out once the man is found, said a member of the tribal court, known as a jirga which supposedly decided cases according to Islamic law. The two were married, but not to each other. …..”
Okay, the man managed to run away, the woman as usual left to hold the bag. Men always get away with adultery in these mock-pious states: they either get acquitted or escape. The reason they get acquitted is most likely because the judges are insecure males who are themselves secretly terrified of their wives or other womenfolk “doing it” with outsiders, and perhaps discovering what they have been missing.
I wonder what Sarah Palin thinks of all this.
