“My opinion is that nobody can make men responsible for the violence against women. Women are responsible for it…”
Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa
( April 20, 2014, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Aminal al-Filali was fifteen when she was raped.
According to Morocco’s penal-code, a rapist could escape prosecution if he married his victim. Amina did not want to marry her rapist; but the rapist was willing, her parents were willing and the judge was willing.
