Guys, it's a metaphor

It would appear some of India's lawyers are less than perfectly clear on how they are expected to go about divorce-raping their clients:
A woman has alleged that she was raped by four men, including her estranged husband, inside a lawyer's chamber here, police said on Tuesday. The victim claimed that the incident took place in a chambers of the lawyer practicing in Patiala court complex. She claimed that her husband's lawyer called her to the court on pretext of settling her divorce petition. She claimed her husband and sister-in-law took her to the chamber where she was raped by the lawyer, his assistant and her husband and her husband's brother-in-law.
There are often negative consequences when people make the mistake of taking metaphors literally, but in this case, I suppose something probably got lost in translation.
