Meenakshi and her little sister were with their family in Delhi for a wedding when a neighbour called and told them not to return to their village.
The neighbour warned that the un-elected village council, Khap panchayat, dominated by the upper caste 'Jat' men, had ordered the two sisters be raped and paraded naked with their faces blackened as punishment for their brother's actions.
India is one fricked up place

Sounds fair to me.

So is America trying to out-retard India or the other way around? I keep getting confused.

But a dentist shot a lion. Let's not lose sight of what matters.

According to popular media and all of your stupid friends on Facebook, no.
I tend to think that police can give speeding tickets AND investigate murders, but whatever.
The point is how much play will this story get from the nightly news compared to a dumb lion that would eat your a-hole before he played snuggles with you?

Top comment on Reddit a few days ago:
Also, let's not forget the story from a couple weeks ago where a Texas judge ordered a young man to marry his girlfriend as part of a plea deal. The girlfriends opinion wasn't considered.

Since the article is not clear on this, a couple of things:
The "unelected" village council is ILLEGAL. India has strong laws against "traditional" forms of justice like village or tribal councils. The problem is that there are isolated, rural areas like the village in the article where the enforcement power of the government is virtually non-existent. There are no major government bodies or police forces in smaller villages to stop something like this. As such, living in them is like living in a pre-modern society.
The problem of village councils dispensing justice is actually a significant worry in rural parts of India where education is dismal compared to the rest of the country. It's not restricted to any particular region, but it is generally regarded as a backwoods "hick" thing. The vast majority of Indians (even the ones who are mildly sexist themselves) do find this appalling and don't want to be associated with it.
The community involved in this article (Jats), and the region, too, are notorious for poor treatment of women, even within India where sexism and misogyny are still major problems. The northwest region from where they originate is the worst part of the country by all major metrics of gender equality, which has a lot to do with the remnants of a traditional martial, "warrior culture" among many of the ethnic groups there, combined with a lack of education and development.
Thankfully, Indian media is all over this story, and chances are the village council members will be arrested and prosecuted.
