Fact Check Master has verified that the misleading post about a so-called "Sharia council" ordering a revenge rape in Pakistan is misleading and false framing.The incident being cited refers to an illegal jirga (village council) decision in Multan in 2017,not Shariah law or a state-sanctioned body. What actually happened: •In July 2017, a jirga in Multan ordered a “revenge rape.” •Pakistani police swiftly intervened, arrested more than 20 people including jirga members and registered FIRs. •The Supreme Court of Pakistan took notice of the case, ensuring all culprits were brought to justice. Important context: •Jirgas/panchayats are illegal and have no judicial authority. •Pakistan’s Supreme Court has explicitly declared such councils unconstitutional (PLD 2019 SC 218). •Both under Pakistani law and Islamic Shariah, rape is a heinous crime,never a legitimate punishment. Verdict: The claim that “Shariah councils ordered revenge rapes in Pakistan” is completely false.These were unlawful village council decisions, condemned and punished by the Pakistani state. Sharing only sensational headlines without full facts fuels disinformation.
