Gang rape as a tribal revenge A sexual assault (gang rape) was done by a group of tribal men somewhere in the African region against a married woman on her 30’sThe group’s action was carried with a blessing by their tribe leader and the whole tribe where the group belongs. It was an act of vengeance against another for an offense done by a member of the other tribe on one of it’s members. After the rape , the woman was made to walk naked in public. This was bot just to inflict shame and pain to the woman but to her entire tribe. The “civilized” words attention was caught and called the act as “beastly” and “inhuman” infact the case was brought to the UN which lambasted the act in the strongest term possible. But is it correct for us to condemn the act as morally wrong knowing that the group acted only on behalf of their own cultural group (as matter of custom)? Can culture custom be subject to mortality? Why or why not?
