Turkey introduces a get-of-jail-by-marrying-the-child-you-raped law

Lawmakers in Turkey are hoping to pass a bill that would allow men who have sex with minors to avoid going to prison if they agree to marry their victim, reports The Independent.

From the article:

United Nations agencies warned the bill would generate a landscape of impunity for child abuse and leave victims vulnerable to experiencing additional mistreatment and distress from their assailants.

Marry-your-rapist bills have been seen across the world and are pushed in the name of protecting and safeguarding family honour.
