Pakistani man ordered to marry off young niece as punishment for his adultery 


A Pakistan village council has punished a 20-year-old man for adultery by ordering the betrothal of his two-year-old niece to the husband of the woman with whom he had the alleged affair, police said on Monday.

Tribal elders meeting last week also ordered Mohammed Akmal to pay a 230,000-rupee fine to the woman's husband, who has since divorced his wife.

Police said that the council in Kacha Chohan village, about 350 kilometres west of Punjab province's major city of Multan, decreed that the two-year-old girl would be married to Mohammed Altaf when she turns 18.


Complete story

That really doesn't teach the guy a lesson now does it. If adultery is supposed to be wrong and is supposed to be punished, it seems that the niece is the one who is being punished for having an adulterous uncle. What madness is this?
