The 20-year-old woman was attacked in her
hometown in the eastern state of West
Bengal
in January, police said, as punishment for
dating a man of a different religion. She is
Hindu. She was dating a Muslim man.
In rural areas of India, local leaders and
informal village councils use often-brutal
extra-legal penalties to enforce conservative
norms that run counter to more-progressive
views on the treatment of women now
gaining ground in the country's cities.
In this case, police said, the local village
chief ordered that the woman be gang-raped.
The village chief was among the men
sentenced. He and the other men sentenced.
I think such person must be hanged in open ground to control such crime
