Pakistan university faces wrath over 'vulgar question' about brother and sister

Social media is enraged after a university in Pakistan asked students their views about a sexual relationship between a brother and sister. Several celebrities and student bodies have slammed the "vulgar content" of Islamabad-based COMSATS University's question paper and demanded the vice chancellor and chancellor should be questioned.

The screenshots of the question paper are circulating on several social media platforms, including Twitter, which shows a "Julie and Mark scenario" and asks students to write an essay after reading the passage. The question paper also gave some questions for the students to frame their answers.

The controversial question was given to Bachelor of Electrical Engineering (BEE) students in December last year, according to the screenshot going viral. "Julie and Mark are brother and sister. They are travelling together in France on summer vacation from college," reads the question.

"One night they are staying alone in a cabin near the beach. They decided that it would be interesting and fun if they tried making love," it continues. "At the very least, it would be a new experience for each of them."

It then goes on to say that Julie was on birth control and Mark used a condom and that they both enjoyed being intimate together although they vowed never to do it again. In the questions that followed, the students were asked their views about the entire scenario and if it was fine for them to "make love". They were also asked to give reasons and "include some relevant examples".
