Obviously these rapists either think they can get away with this horrendous crime or the penalties are not stiff enough, that they continue not to be deterred! How about 100 lashes and life in prison? I bet the few minutes of pleasure that they got would not outweigh years of suffering! Our women need to be protected against these thugs, who lack common sense and would not hesitate doing it again, if they are let free!

@rana1
Let us keep the fear of punishment intact till the mentality changes. Our feudal system is the primary underlying cause of injustices in this country.

it is shocking and more shocking are the comments of people who are trying to blame systems for such crimes the fact we are not ready to accept it that as a society we have become brutal, stubborn and rigid not ready to respect anything. We are always eager to cover the women but at the same time do not force men to have respect for women. We are society where woman has to commit suicide as society stigmatize her but man moves with all pride no system can stop rape unless we come out from our sick mentality and change our attitude

Had the girl not died she would have been held liable and guilty for this crime. These three rapists deserve death sentence without questions.

Pakistan Police force and Judiciary are a disgrace to society.
The only solution is to legalize Mob Justice and make it part of the constitution.

In a society where so called religious scholars allow men to gang rape the sisters of the accused (not confirmed guilty) - do you think the mentality will change that easy.
There is a cover of religion for everything in Pakistan.

It will not stop unless severe punishment is given to those culprits... it is indeed becoming a sick society...folks....As long as there is rape... there is not going to be any peace or justice or equality or freedom. You are not going to become what you want to become or who you want to become. You are not going to live in the world you want to live in....

If the three arrested accused confessed to the crime without police torture, since police torture is common in Pakistan, they should be hanged immediately. This quick justice will set an example for others not to follow such crime.

Pakistan is third worst in the world in treating women and India 4th worst.
It's the result of religious culture irrespective of brand name.
Countries with higher percentage of atheists treat the women best.
