One of the sisters who has been sentenced to be repeatedly raped because her brother eloped with a woman from a higher caste has said she cannot return home because she fears village elders will want to take revenge on her.

An illegal jury, composed of male upper caste Baghpat village elders, reportedly ordered the gang rape of Meenakshi Kumari, 23, and her 15-year-old sister after their brother Ravi eloped with a married woman, known only as Krishna, from a higher caste.

Ms Kumari, fearing for their lives, petitioned India's Supreme Court for protection. The case brought international attention after an Amnesty International petition to save the two girls from the punishment garnered more than 200,000 signatures.

    choose your friends, choose your enemies

    Oh, I've made my choice already, little man. You may want to make yourself scarce for the next little while. At least until I forget again who you are. Just sayin'.

    you are a strange kind.
    sometimes talk to people like you.
    conversations go like this.
    me: you know isis executes woman for not having sex with them?
    you: yeah...

    what I say then: I would like to torture them to death...
    what you hear: "I would like to torture a nice, ethnic human being to death..."

    If you call me little, you have no idea who your enemies or friends are.

    you make me sad

      you are a strange kind.

      Right back at ya, little man. Next time, try responding to what I actually wrote, rather than the conversations going on in your feeble imagination. It might help in communicating with each other.

      If you call me little, you have no idea who your enemies or friends are.

      Trust me, with each round I'm getting a much, much clearer picture of who you are.

      you make me sad

      Of that, I have no doubt, but then I can't really help you with whatever emotional/psychological issues you are struggling with. For that you will likely need professional help.
