Original Note:
This claim is misleading. In 2018, Pir Mahal, Pakistan, families attempted an illegal “revenge rape” deal. Police intervened and arrested 12 people. It was not ordered under Sharia law or courts. Its illegal under Pakistani law, and Sharia, which punishes rape severely. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/revenge-rape-arrest-pakistan-pir-mahal-punjab-police-rapist-sister-a8274526.html https://www.rferl.org/a/pakistani-revenge-rape-12-arrested-sister/29124481.html
