So how much distance would you maintain from someone who has committed some kind of crime ? What about someone who was born out of a wedlock ? That person had nothing to do with the crime of his/her parents would you be friends to such a person ? What about the family of a criminal ? They had nothing to do with the crime of their loved ones but in our society they still get punished and turned into an outcast.
I agree , the criminals dont suffer as much as their families do .. In Pakistan, people distance themselves from such families for they are taught a man is known by the company he keeps ... from fear of embarassment they keep away..
