Given the deplorable reporting, it does remind me of Maury Povich; now that you bring it up.

I can see where there is legitimate concern for the lashing of a teenage girl, and that as a result of religious decree of local uppity-ups.

However, it appears clear enough that beyond that there hasn't been enough factual development to justify any particular outrage, but there are a number of possibilities that might have been subject to discussion:

> Rape
> Allegations of rape
> Teenage sexual activities
> Arranged/forced marriages
> Abortion
> Divorce
> Law enforcement
> Evidence
> Presumption of innocence
> etc., etc.

While some appear content to express their outrage and take action regarding the religious practice of lashing folks, and that may be well and good, it appears the other issues will not be adequately, factually developed and/or discussed as they relate to this particular case.
