Indian sisters to be raped as 'punishment' for brother eloping

Two sisters in India - one aged only 15-years - are to be raped as "punishment" for their brother running away with a married woman from a higher caste in the latest caste to shock the country. Meenakshi Kumari, who is 23, and her younger sister, will then be paraded naked with their faces blackened through the streets, according to a ruling from the all-male village council. The sisters have petitioned the country's Supreme Court to be protected from the so-called "eye-for-an-eye" ruling from the village council in Uttar Pradesh state, 30 miles from the capital Delhi. The family are from the Dalit caste, historically known as "untouchables". However, the brother fell in love with a woman from the higher, Jat, caste. The woman was forced into an arranged marriage in February with a man from her own caste despite her relationship, according to Zee news, citing the elder sister Meenakshi.

Isn't it illegal there anyway? The police can stop it surely, and arrest those who have arranged it.

Savages

Horrifying!

The people in the village have denied it, but then I suppose they would. The police do know about it, so hopefully it would be stopped anyway.

How, why can two sisters be punished for the actions of their brother?  How can group rape be determined as as justified punishment?

Is this 2015? How can this be going on anywhere in the world now?
