'Marry your Rapist' bill to be passed in Turkey
 

A law which would allow men accused of having sex with girls who are under 18 to avoid punishment if they marry their victims is set to be introduced to parliament in Turkey.
The controversial so-called “marry-your-rapist” bill, which lawmakers are planning to introduce to Turkish parliament at the end of January, has sparked fury among women’s rights campaigners in the country.
Critics argue the legislation, which the opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) is urging the government to axe, not only legitimises child marriage and statutory rape but also paves the way for child abuse and sexual exploitation.
A similar bill was defeated in Turkey in 2016 after national and global outrage. The legislation would have only pardoned men if they had sex without “force or threat'

speechless

Oh god. How horrendous. And Barbaric.

Turkey like a Evil Muslim Nation
now

Jeez, that's more disgusting than Pakistan's refusal to ban child marriage for being "blasphemous".

Well I hope they know they can't behave like that if they come here.

Bloody hell , talk about backwards thinking. :fist:

This world deserves to burn. :umm2:

Oh my!

What the ****

*Prince Andrew books some flights*

Submisive women are great apparently. . .

Byeeeeeeee

Stop the world I wanna get off

:joker:

The world is getting seriously ****ed up, I can tell because I'm starting to feel like I'm one of the sane people.:omgno:

...we always think things like...’we could never go back there’...’that could never happen’...progression, progression etc...but sadly, there is so much that is regressing in the world atm...this is horrendous, obviously it’s horrendous...and yet it’s still something that’s happening and that in itself matches that level of horrendous...

...it made my thoughts go to this as well...

"it made my thoughts go to this as well"

Whats that got to do whith a Strict Muslim
Nation like Turkey?
Thats before he Won the Election

just different cultures than ours

You mad?

not that i agree with this law at all

Yeah **** womens rights

Strikes me that he doesn't even actually believe what he's saying here, he just knows that it's what his supporters want to hear, that's why he's struggling to make any concrete statement about his stance.

Turkey, on the other hand, is an absolute mess now. I take it they've completely abandoned their desire to access the EU? Because laws like this obviously mean they have absolutely no chance of entering, but they were still talking about it as recently as late 2018 IIRC.

women's rights are important i know

Fundamental Christianity is no different to fundamental Islam... and thus, there is absolutely NO reason that Islamic societies can't be socially progressive.

you got valid points i guess
