If I understand it right, the girl has been abused by her stepfather. And then in this case, she is caught of fornication with someone else (not her stepfather). They just gonna lash that poor girl without considering her past abuse and maybe even in this current case there is a chance that she's actually molested by that person. Even if she's not molested in this case, it's maybe because of her stepfather who lead her on to this wrong way....I'm so sad this kind of country put the weight more to men than to women....I feel sorry for the women born in this kind of country.
