A Tunisian court will soon pass sentence in a phone rape case. The verdict: stoning by mobile phone?
Rape is no laughing matter, of course but there are always exceptions to any rule. Anyway, I can’t see how anyone could ever define the following as rape - unless you are a sick, primitive and delusional Islamic Tunisian court, of course:
A Tunisian court is looking into an unprecedented rape case filed by a Tunisian family against a man who allegedly “raped” their daughter over the phone during an erotic call. The defendant, 30, denied having ever touched the 20-year-old victim, but admitted that in one of their phone calls, while they were “totally into it,” he heard her scream and say that a few drops of blood had come out of her.
The victim’s lawyer, Maha al-Metebaa, told Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabs that the forensic report showed that the girl had lost her virginity recently, but was not subjected to any sexual assault. According to Metebaa, this supports the fact that the phone call was the reason. But Metebaa said this was an unprecedented case that required the court’s thorough investigation and jurisprudence to reach a decision.
“The intercourse did take place with all its details but verbally only. The sexual act did not really happen because the physical proximity factor is not there, yet it happened because there is a direct physical impact – the loss of virginity.”
Idiots.
Such a pity that phones weren’t around when the ‘Virgin’ Mary got knocked up. Not that pregnancy by phone sounds that much saner than being penetrated by the Holy Ghost but it has, excuséz le mot, a slightly less archaic ring to it.
Anyway, back to that rape theme. The woman in question was of age - not that that matters much in many Muslim countries, which follow the paedophile example of the Prophet Mohamed (blessed be his name, of course) and marry off pubescent kids to men who are then allowed to do whatever they want to these children.
So, this woman is not forced into marriage, is not told she will be beaten if she doesn’t pick up the phone. She admits to having had these conversations before and she was. allegedly, ‘totally into it’. Where’s the crime? We have grown-up assent, without any physical contact even. We certainly do not have rape.
Still, we are talking about an Islamic court, so I’m sure they will think up something. Anything to keep women in their place. Which is to ‘honourably’ serve the men - meaning: to be raped and used in all other matters by the devout followers of the Prophet as they see fit.
In other words, if the woman is lucky they will probably force her to marry the ‘rapist’. Otherwise, the court may well decide that she must be buried halfway up in the sand, and to be ’stoned’ to death with mobile phones.
