^ Excuse me. Thats a generalization and speculation for making comment on Pakistani Village or the justice system in this respect. You do not know everything what might be happening inside or even outside Pakistan and I just had to object.
I apologize for generalizing but my point here was if she or her mom were in fear of their well being then I would understand the delay but considering the country we live in it just seems silly to wait for such long period of time, especially her mother!!!!
As you said, incest is underreported even in some western countries then you can imagine the stigma attached to it in Pakistan hence these things are sometimes burried under the carpet in the villages for the sake of "izzat" and not to mention the father might have been bailed out even before the arrest!! These things are common in our country.. sad but true!!!
