I agree with Pacifier. When it comes to religion it is the way you interpret the writings and usually they are used for bettering oneself. There are several writings in the Bible I find more than dubious/suspicious. And I am thankfull that thay are not used as they are written.
However I always had the notion that every religion says to take care of the weak and that what makes this so weird. This woman was abused by her family (sold as (sex)slave)) as well as the system. If this girl's story is true than the real culprits are the men who sold and abused her. Trial them, punish them, but I guess being male clears you of wrong doings in certain countries
As for the underage thing. There are moments that someone can (and should) be tried as an adult. However when it happens I always wonder if a child that has not done a crime can go to court and ask to have adult privaliges (i.e. voting, smoking, drinking etc) cause if the law can go one way why not the other. I guess what my point is why can young adults only be on the wrong side of the system and not the beneficial side of it?
