You chose to criticize her clothes? You're not a victim and you're more than smart to be a victim. She is perhaps not smart enough and that's why she's a victim. She chose to wear what she wears and she is again perhaps not smart enough to wear the clothings to be able to convince our society.

I remember reading a recent story on CNN where the women of Afghanistan was jailed for reporting a rape and the culprit was not even questioned. Do you know why? There is a law in Afghanistan which requires women to report the rape within 24 hours (I might be wrong about the time frame, but it was ridiculously a short period (less than a week)). We can never imagine the emotions the victims go through and we can merely speculate about them with what they should or should not have done. It is always easy to blame the victim. I heard her saying talking to her husband's mistress. That tells that she was still trying to save the marriage till the end despite all the abuses, but finally the thread broke and she could no longer tolerate it.

She might have gone through emotional abuses and may not have enough evidences to report to the authorities here. It's easy for us to say this and that here. I don't think you can report for emotional abuses and verbal assaults. For other physical assaults and sexual abuses, it might had been too old to report to authorities. We don't know what it was. There is certainly another side of the story. But it makes me sad to see the way nepali pupil rushed to blame victim by judging on the clothes she was wearing.

You can watch the video again to hear the name of NGO. She mentions the name in the video.
