The public should get angry at every sexual assault on adults as well as minors. There should be no tolerance. A woman harassed by Islamists on the bus because of the way she wears is as much of a social problem as a minor being assaulted.
There should be no tolerance and secular laws should be ruthlessly applied to those offenders.
I remember reading statistics that show that sexual assault on minors and adults (both genders) have increased sharply under the AKP rule.
For instance, madrasas run by religious sects have seen increased sexual assaults.
Besides, the public should pay attention to minor/child marriages and marriages legalized through religious authority rather than state authority -- which opens the way for polygamy, especially when there are so many displaced Syrian women in Turkey now.
What is bad about polygamy??? A women is better off married to a man who is married to 4 wives rather being a single mother or a women engaging in prostitution.
By the way men are in decline while women are growing in population. This leaves a lot of women unmarried. How about widows who lost their husbands to sickness or war.
If a man is willing to take up polygamy all power to him. We can easily turkify those syrians by marrying their women. Future generations will be Turk make them settle in the east which will drive a wedge against Kurdish separatists.
Then again if a country bans polygamy Im not going to argue with the ban. Because the law is the law.
