Her assailant arrived at the house when her mother left for a brief visit to the hospital.
'He had filthy clothes on as he does metal and construction work,' she told CNN in an exclusive interview.
'He closed doors and windows. I started screaming, but he shut me up by putting his hands on my mouth,' she said. After the attack, she hid what happened as long as she could. But soon she began showing the signs of morning sickness.
She received not sympathy but prosecution. But she appreciates she is lucky to get a second chance.
Many women in her position have been killed, for the shame such incidents bring on the community.
Now, if she marries her attacker she has a chance to restore her honour and to give her child a family.

This religious practice is obscene. What type of lunatics could do such a thing and still believe this barbarism is, "Doing the work of the Lord."
The Holy Bible:
Laws of Rape (Deuteronomy 22:28-29)
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
What kind of lunatic would make a rape victim marry her attacker? Answer: God.
Death to the Rape Victim (Deuteronomy 22:23-24)
If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.
It is clear that God doesn't give a damn about the rape victim. He is only concerned about the violation of another mans "property".

Happy Thanksgiving future. Yes. Religion is the greatest con game ever, where the promised pay off is only redeemable after death. Hard to get your money-back at that point.

The saddest part of it is that Christianity has played the longest con in history and it still suckers people in.

Well how kind of God to insure that she never gets away from the rapist ever again! We wouldn't want that now would we?
I feel for this woman, raped, then has her attackers child, then put in prison for "shaming the family." Not an easy life and I'm sure she's not getting the proper mental health care to handle the whole situation.
