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.

    Honestly it is more than just trolling and antisocial behaviour.
    But see, as long as there are people in the country who have to train to kill and interrogate, that is the police and military, I see no reason to be the emo newfag, who everyone knows will not be around when the fight comes.

    You know, I speak like this in real life to.
    Sometimes, you can read in the paper someone killing a woman or a child.
    People say, he needs mental care.
    I say, both the mental-careists and the culprit needs to be cooked alive.
    I would honestly consider it entertaining.

    There are a lot of opinions around that needs police escort :D

    So I challenge you: find in any of my posts something that threatens a truly precious human being.
    You will not find it.

    Instead, you will find this: you are the kind of person, who decides that you want to survive at any price.
    If the turks come, you will become a muslim, to live.
    On the other hand, if the turks come, I will be around to kill them.
    And you know, instinctively, that my kind hates your kind more then the enemy.
    I will kill you for who you are, the same as I will kill the enemy.
    In my eyes, you are not better then them.
    You will consider very carefully if you will be around in times of need.
    And this is you sentence for it: death...

    You know, you didn't actually have to demonstrate the truth of my words. Don't get me wrong, it's always nice to have backup, but you didn't have to put yourself out on my account.

      don't understand you.
      from a lot of points, life is a nightmare.
      sometimes I speak them...
      this is all an aspect of life.
      there are a lot of people like this.
      evolution made them at some point, maybe to aid the tribe?
      we are also a port of life.
      what we say is also a part of the whole truth.

      would you prefer not to hear it?
