The cultural gap continues to widen

Muslim woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
Reports say the 28-year-old woman was raped when she was alone at home in Charthawal, in the norther Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

When the incident came to the notice of the [Muslim community] council, it ordered that she marry her father-in-law and change her relationship with her husband to that between a mother and son.
