Yeah AW , but in the Western Law the victim is not always compensated for essentially being a victim ..like in our system.
The Americans do it in Iraq when it fu.ckin works in their favor .
Case in point , a drunk Blackwater operator { or even a soldier} guns down an Iraqi for no apparent reason . They $$ the family .
The irony of it is , would the Americans take the money had one of their won been shot?

Voltage,
If my story checks out, I expect a public apology.
Sahan,
When it comes to sexual crimes especially that affecting a minor, Western law takes precedence and no amount of xa'al will prevent that.

Like I said , if the family says , ninkan ha la inoo xidho , waa la xidhaya .
It is up to the VICTIM to decide which route they want to go . Not society at large , not the "State" .
That's how we do it in Somaliland :somaliland:

I don't think that's funny. If a man/woman sexually molests a child whether the child is a male or female they deserve the same punishment.

I don't think you should/can justify that way of thinking. It's wrong to think like that it doesn't matter how you paint it.
