The story of a 21-year-old woman known as Gulnaz has gained a fair bit of press coverage over the past few weeks. She was raped by her cousin’s husband, and SHE was the one put in jail.  AND, apparently, forced to agree to marry her rapist to legitimize her baby – a product of the rape.

Interestingly, in none of CNN’s coverage that I have heard or read is the root cause of this, Islam and Islamic Sharia law, ever mentioned.
