"ISTANBUL — On Nov. 17, members of Parliament from Turkey’s ruling
Justice and Development Party, or A.K.P., proposed a bill that seemed
bizarre, even in the context of Turkey, where every week seems to bring
a new, shocking outrage. The bill called for people who had sexually
abused underage girls before Nov. 16 to avoid punishment if the abuser
agreed to marry his victim."
Well done to the progressives who fought this. Via Kee Hinckley.
