For those who do not know the Muktar Mai case, here's a brief up:

Mukhtar Mai was gang raped on the orders of a tribal council, called to settle allegations that the influential Mastoi clan in the area had levelled against her brother, Shakoor. The Mastois had alleged that they had seen the 12-year-old Shakoor in the company of a Mastoi woman. This, they said, had brought shame to the entire clan. The council then allegedly ordered the rape of Mukhtar Mai to avenge the wrong that her brother had been accused of committing. It was later found in a conventional court that the story against Shakoor had been fabricated to cover up a sexual attack against the boy himself. The three men who attacked him were imprisoned for sodomy. Their convictions still stand.
