Yes, in some countries in Africa the penalty for rape can involve a severe physical punishment. In some cases, it could involve attaching a heavy weight like a cinder block to the perpetrator's genitals, as a form of punishment. Other penalties could involve fines or imprisonment. This practice is considered to be a form of justice which in turn serves as a deterrent. It is also seen as providing justice and restoring honor to the rape victim and their family.
