The woman was sentenced because she was alone with a man she wasn’t married to – NOT the rapists, but her co-victim, a man she had known in school and from whom she was retrieving something she had lent him.In other words, had she merely met him, picked up her property, and gone home, she would STILL have been liable to that sentence had the police found out. The gang rape just brought her “crime” to the attention of the authorities.
