A woman in Libya, Iman al-Obeidi, alleged last week that she was kidnapped and raped by four men. Those men were arrested and are now filing a lawsuit against al-Obeid. They filed a defamation suit claiming that she has tainted their honor. They also say that their families have been black-named, a serious offense in Islamic Law.
It will be interesting to see what happens in this case. My instinctive response is to side with the woman, but it is hard to say what really happened to her. For all we know, she is taking advantage of the media attention Libya is getting right now. Hopefully everything works out for the best!
