Pakistani woman attacked for refusing to marry

There are not many things that I get angry at, but attitudes like this makes my blood boil for a while.

Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. I feel that that *omit* is still living in the neanderthal mindset that women should be doing whatever the man wants. So what, his pride was injured when he was rejected? Sucks for him. Taking up a violent hand and ruining the woman's life won't miraculously make her fall in love with you. Things like this just make me lose hope for humanity sometimes.

These men are complete idiots. How did they expect this act of violence to benefit them. I agree with Kevin, this makes my blood boil too. I am glad that the attackers are going to be brutally punished.

The new Kevin (a.k.a Kevin Kwan) said...

"They said "we will kill you. Since your mother did not accept our marriage proposal, we are going to leave you in a state where no one will want you,"" Fazeelat remembers them saying.

"She also screamed for her mother only to learn more terrible news -- her mother was dead."

"Police so far have arrested three of her five assailants. Two have already been tried and convicted.

Their sentence: to be subjected to the same mutilation as Fazeelat. They are also to serve life in prison and pay a fine equivalent to $8,300.

This unusual sentence is in accordance with the Pakistani Penal Code, a blend of British and Islamic laws."

They certainly know what "eye for an eye" means.

Wow. Serves them right, in my opinion. Psh.
