"KARACHI: A group of Pakistani men has been accused of raping a teenaged girl and forcing her to parade naked through her village because one of her relatives eloped with a young woman from the men's family, police said yesterday.
Such attacks, known as honour crimes because they are committed in response to a perceived slight on a family's honour, are common in rural Pakistan.
Pakistan last year brought in a law introducing the death penalty for honour killings. Gang-rape is also punishable by death in Pakistan."
