Religion of Sexual Servitude

Primatives:

A tribal council in Pakistan has ordered the betrothal of a 2-year-old girl to a man 40 years older to punish her uncle for an alleged affair with the man's wife... The council decreed the girl must marry 42-year-old Mohammed Altaf, her uncle's cousin, when she turns 18, police said.

Truly understanding the primitive tribalism of these petty morality bullies is a mind-numbing and thoroughly depressing exercise. The entire episode is something out of an over-eager Ayn Rand hatchet job: a woman bound to a life of sexual servitude because the religious gang that controls her village has taken exception to something a member of her family did with someone else from her village. Perhaps this is the time to consider that there might be something to liberal Western values after all.
