good question, although what I really want to know is what if the likely punishment would be undeserved, say because of an unjust law? For example, say a Muslim girl gets raped, and knows she will be stoned to death if anybody finds out. Should she go around telling everybody she was raped so they can brutally murder her? That was the punishment for a 13 year old rape victim in Somalia, according to a recent news story.
yea, kind of an extreme example, but I think it can apply on a lesser level in many people's lives.
