If a brother commits a crime, why should his sister be punished?

I read a shocking article today 
about a city council in Pakistan replacing the court in a remote location in the country of Pakistan, which sentenced a boy who raped a 12-year-old girl (I don't put a link because it's in Hebrew).
The punishment he received was that his 16-year-old sister should be raped ...
It is unbelievable how barbarous this culture can be cruel and unjust ...
When I read such things I certainly think that Western education should be promoted in such dark countries.
Does anyone have an explanation of how they think?
Can you understand it?

@gilggg It is like that, personal responsibility does not exist in primitive criminal laws, there is only a collective responsibility. There is only about 2500 years that we changed our mind about this in Western Europe, some people need more time

I saw that shocking judgment but I read also that it was being investigated and arrests have been made.
Village elders in Pakistan ordered the rape of a 17-year-old girl after her brother was accused of raping another girl.

That's inhumane. I cannot understand why the sister needs to suffer.

It was an article from the site ynet.co.il in Hebrew. But @1hopefulman also found it in the site cnn.com in English.
