thedailywhat: This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: A woman in Afghanistan who was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the crime of being raped by a relative has been pardoned by Afghan President Hamid Karzai after she agreed to marry her rapist. The woman, identified only as “Gulnaz,” was convicted of adultery after reporting that she had been raped by her cousin’s husband. According to Gulnaz’s lawyer, marrying her rapist was not a condition for release, but she has agreed to do so in order to “legitimize her daughter.” “In my conversations with Gulnaz she told me that if she had the free choice she would not marry the man who raped her,” attorney Kimberley Motley said. Gulnaz had been raising her daughter, who was conceived as a result of the rape, in jail. Her rapist was sentenced to 12 years in prison, but later had  his jail time reduced to 7 years. Gulnaz also had her 12-year sentence reduced to 3 years. Authorities said she would not serve all 12 years, but would still have to spend time in jail for not reporting the rape soon enough.  [cnn / bbcnews.]
