What difference does that make? The whole reason this debate exists (well, maybe not the WHOLE reason) is that 10 months for a crime like gang rape is insulting. It doesn't matter that those 10 months might be more difficult than 10 months in our jail system. After all, she's still getting sentenced to 6 months in THEIR jail.

I'll just come out and say it. The "women can't be alone in the company of non-relative men" law is stupid. Yes, it's their culture, but that doesn't mean their selection of laws is moral simply because it's culture. Lawful =/= moral. There's nothing at all that warrants support for this law and, especially, the repercussions for breaking it. I don't care if it is "their house".
