"An increasing number of young, Danish women of Middle Eastern background are subjected to violence and race in forced marriages. Simon Eilrich, a lawyer from Aarhus, is trying to help the women in a new way. The lawyer says that the attacks often take place with the knowledge or help of the families of the girls, and wants those involved charged."I've come to the conclusion that we can't and shouldn't - in the name of the culture clash - accept rapes in a legal sense. You can't camouflage rape with a family tradition. It should now only be about the individual girl's rights. They should outweigh family honor. The law should be absolute. If you're forced into sex, that's rape," says Simon Eilrich. Since last year he dealt with 12 cases of Danish girls of Middle-Easter background, most led to the cousins or brothers being sentenced for being accomplices to violence or rape. Simon Eilrich hopes this will cause the rotten apples in the immigrant community to change their attitude."Islam in Europe: Aarhus: Families helping in raping girls
Excellent, except he says he's "come to the conclusion." Seems like it would be obvious.
