What does "Thursday" mean? I have read news on BBC: "Acquittals in Mukhtar Mai gang rape case" in Pakistan http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13158001 And I wonder what "Thursday's ruling" ,in sentence "She runs a school for girls in her village, and has vowed that Thursday's ruling will not force her to leave her home.", means. Moreover, how to translate this phrase "12 at the time" in sentence: Mukhtar Mai was attacked on the orders of the powerful Mastoi clan as a punishment because her brother - 12 at the time - had allegedly been having an affair with a Mastoi woman. Hope to be answered soon. It's better to read English explanation. Thank you so much!
