JOUMANA HADDAD March 10, 2014 Randa Berris logic Why claiming that marital rape is hard to prove is problematic “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I am not sure about the universe.” – Albert Einstein Last week, Randa Berri expressed reservations about a law that aimed to protect women from gender-based violence because, in her words, marital rape is hard to prove. Following this logic (if it can be called logic), a government should only pass laws that punish easily provable crimes. What does that apply to? 10% of the crimes committed around the world? What a breakthrough for the justice system and the notion of justice more broadly. “If it’s not obvious, then forget about it.” This reasoning sheds a whole new light on the “perfect crime” concept: every rapist can get away scot-free unless the perpetrator leaves his name, home address, and a full confession on the victim’s body. https://now.mmedia.me/lb/en/commentaryanalysis/538645-randa-berris-logic
