The castration solution proposed by PM Imran Khan as a punishment for rapists has ignited a debate on social media platforms. People have been trying to assess the feasibility of the step suggested and amidst all this, religious scholars have given their input too. Well, their stance regarding the castration has left the masses in confusion who are now trying to figure out the logic behind it.
While in conversation with Waseem Badami, the chairman of the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII), Dr. Qibla Ayaz, stated that the punishment for rapists, in reality, is a punishment for the wife of the rapist
He tried to explain that in case the rapist is married, upon being castrated, his wife will have to bear the consequences. In his own words, “na mard wali saza banany ka yeh masla hai kay woh shakhs shaadi shuda hai tau iss kay saath aisa karnay say tau asl saza biwi ko milay ge.”
People were infuriated and could not really figure out the logic behind the statement issued by the Chairman
They argued that a wife wouldn’t want to stay with a rapist
People mentioned that they should not use other women to gain sympathies for rapists
They could not believe the excuse given by the chairman
People were shocked at the assumption that it was fine for a woman to live with a rapist
They said that being the wife of a rapist is a punishment in itself.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you really think that a woman would want to stay with a husband who has been proven as a rapist? Moreover, can this logic be used to justify the annulment of castration as a punishment? Let us know everything in the comments below.
