The Islamic State (IS) has reportedly issued a list of 27 tips on raping and punishing sex slaves.

The guidelines have been outlined in the QandA format and explain how to capture and degrade young women and girls who have not yet attained puberty. It also attempts to justify such behavior through Islamic law, reported News.com.au.

While insisting that it is acceptable to have sexual intercourse with non-Muslim slaves including, young girls, the list directs its readers to beat them for discipline. However, beating for pleasure or torture is not permissible, it said.

If a woman is not a virgin then her uterus must be purified before sex, the pamphlet said.

It also justifies having sexual intercourse with girls who have not yet attained puberty if they are fit for the act.

The guidelines explained that it is permissible to buy, sell or gift female captives and slaves as they are merely property which can be disposed of.

The pamphlet was issued by the Research and Fatwa Department of the Islamic State and posted on a pro-IS Twitter account.

It is believed to have been created in response to claims that said IS kidnapped and enslaved more than 2500 Yazidi women in Syria and Iraq.
