You're right. They have a stupid law. And the repercussions of breaking that stupid law, especially to the extent that the girl in this case is, is immoral.

Let's say there was a law here that said "Men can't wear blue on Tuesdays." Now let's say that you decided to wear blue tomorrow, and have the unfortunate luck to be mugged by lots of big dudes with knives. The muggers rip you to pieces. You barely live; you're embarrassed that you couldn't defend yourself; your sister tries to kill you because you're a disgrace to the family.

You're sentenced to 6 months in jail and 200 lashes; the muggers are sentenced to two years in jail.

By your logic, it's all your fault because you wore blue. If you hadn't been wearing blue, the muggers wouldn't have mugged you. So the penalty is ok. Right?
