Men convicted of rape will be castrated in Nigeria under new law
Men convicted of rape in one Nigerian state will now face castration — while child rapists can be executed, under a strict new law that passed this week.
Male rapists in Kaduna state can be subject to surgical castration, while a woman convicted raping a child faces the removal of her fallopian tubes.
Men can also now be handed the death penalty for raping a person under age 14 — and a life sentence for the rape of an adult.
