A man who had the nerve to forcefully have s*x with his own step-sister, has been made to pay the ultimate price for his folly.

A Tunisian man in his 20s has been forced to get married to his
13-year-old step-sister after r*ping her and getting her pregnant, Metro
UK reports.
The yong man married the young girl in the northwest region of Kef
in Tunisia in the presence of both their parents, despite them
previously attempting to stop the wedding.
Though it is illegal to have s*x with someone under the age of 15,
if no force was used during the attack, an alleged r*pist can stop his
prosecution by marrying his victim, according to article 288 of
Tunisia’s criminal code.
Chokri Mejri, a spokesperson for the court, claims the girl ‘was not r*ped’ and added: ‘We interviewed the girl and after verifying all the details, we considered her fit for marriage.’
Yet the court’s decision has enraged Tunisians who protested against the decision on Wednesday by holding banners which read: ‘How I met your mother? I raped her when she was 13.’
Protesters express their grievance over the matter
Tunisia is one of the leading countries in the Arab world
advocating for women’s rights yet traditional gender stereotypes and old
laws remain embedded in the justice system.
The country’s prime minister said on Friday that they should
prioritise a discussion on changing the law ahead of a review on all
articles ‘concerning the fight against violence targeting women’.
A wedding party which was prepared for the girl involved was
subsequently cancelled after the government’s child protection office
called for the marriage to be annulled.
Houda Abboudi, a representative, said: ‘When it’s a 13-year-old child, we can’t talk of sexual relations with consent. It’s r*pe.
‘The court’s decision didn’t take into account the interests of this child […] who will marry her r*pist.’
Tunisian women are often discouraged from filing complaints of r*pe
because it’s thought they are bringing shame on their families if they
speak about their sexual abuse.
