Last I checked the eighty lashes are never meant to kill. I know people who have been lashed and have merely been badly bruised for a while. Also a person's age and physical condition are supposed to be considered before such a punishment is handed down. So if its a teenager and/or a person of weaker physical condition then the penalty is either completely wiped off or given in a lighter degree. Its clearly obviously a misuse of the law...yet again, by a group of barbaric fools lacking knowledge. I hope and pray those guilty are prosecuted and put to death themselves..wishful thinking? Raheemullah Hena Begum! =(
