Violence against women and girls remains a big problem in Pakistan.
Police in Pakistan have arrested 12 people for allegedly ordering a man to rape a girl as revenge for the rape of his sister.
Following the attack, the family of suspected rapist Wasim Saeed – from Pir Mahal in Punjab province – first asked the victim’s family for a pardon, according to police officer Rehmat Ali.
The two sides then agreed to reconcile, with the condition that Mr Saeed’s sister would first be subjected to a “revenge rape”.
The 12 currently being held include members of a village council, elders and family members.
A similar case in the same province last year saw the arrest of 25 members of an informal village council, accused of ordering the rape of a 16-year-old girl as revenge for a sexual assault committed by her brother.
Although they are banned by law, revenge assaults, known as “wani”, are still practised in some rural areas in Pakistan.
