Finally king bow for humanity

King doesn’t bow. We have experienced it from years not only in Indian but also we have seen similar scenes in rest of the world too. General public has to bend in front of him to get things done or in so-called respect. But, Saudi King Abdullah bends to less known rape victim on humanitarian ground. And this instance highlighted rich culture of humanity prevails in dreaded world of Saudi.
As per Saudi stern laws a young girl or woman can’t leave the home at night without informing male from her family. If she takes such steps, she would be punishing by law. It sounds quite strange but this law has proved very crucial in present Saudi situation.
Couple of month back one Saudi girl leaves her home at night to collect some photographs from one boy. She didn’t inform her family member about her visit. Almost six to seven people kidnapped her with that boy and raped her for several hours at unknown place. She filed a written complaint with police department. Finally, police caught culprits on clues given by victim. Court awarded stringent punishment to all of them. But, at the same time she had been given 200 lashes as punishment for breaking law and order. Her punishment multiplies as she broke her silence and narrated story while news reporters approached her. She experienced the cruelty of law following bitterness of social stigma.
Her punishment spark wide spread controversy across the Saudi Arabia. Women from Arabia came forward to press her grievances. They make king Abdullah to aware of the facts. He finally took this incident into account and apologizes to rape victim. This must be the first instance, when a king has bend for justice. And he is from most cruel land of Saudi Arabia.
But, question doesn’t come to an end even after King’s apology. Should Saudi forget woman’s mistake as she has mate with an accident. Hadn’t she suffered from physical harassment, She would have been punished. Others too would praise their rules in this regard. Then, Should Saudi has different rules and regulations for victims and lawbreakers. This big question remain unanswered…
