Pakistan: Brothers torture sister, kill her husband for marrying without family’s consent

Jun 17, 2014 9:59 pm By Robert Spencer

Honor-Killing-AdMuslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (‘Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2). In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law. In this case, of course, the victim was the murderer’s wife, a victim to the culture of violence and intimidation that such laws help create.

The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”

Until the encouragement Islamic gives to honor killing is acknowledged and confronted, more women will suffer.

“Woman killed ‘for honour,’” Dawn, June 15, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

HYDERABAD: Brothers of a woman, who married for love without the consent of her family, shot at stabbed to death her husband and left her injured in an attack on their house in Latifabad Unit No12 on Sunday, said police.

A-Section police station SHO Sikandar Bhatti said that Nabeel, 25, and Samina Rani Rao, 22, daughter of Idrees, who were neighbours married in court on Feb 4 without the consent of the girl’s family and fled to Karachi after the wedlock for fear of the family’s backlash. They had been in hiding since the marriage.

On Sunday, the brothers of Samina learnt about their presence in Nabeel’s parents house. They barged into the house, stabbed and shot at Nabeel, and tortured Samina, said police.

The SHO said that one of four brothers of the girl named Zahid had been arrested and a pistol had been recovered from him. Samina suffered minor injuries. Police said the case had not been registered so far.

    Liberals will all be nodding their heads like trained seals over this.
    There will be a in collective agreement of:
    — “Who are we to judge someone’s religion”
    — “After all it was her brothers who did this, not a perfect stranger”
    — ” they did torture her and then they killed her husband however, — not that we are saying there is anything wrong with that”
    — “She should have gotten permission”

    its not about honor, its about control. a man must control his females or hes not a man. if they were as concerned about “controlling” a business or excelling in education, they All would be much better off & the nations of the world wouldn’t be laughing or hissing at them so much. the idea that their “prophet” led them wrong must nag at them sometimes. (you are Not to be like the pagans, lording it over one another)!words to live by.

    Pakistan: Brothers torture sister…who married for love without the consent of her family…kill her husband…
    ……………………………….

    What could be more un-Islamic than marrying for love?

    How many of these case have we heard of? In Pakistan families hire thugs who make a living tracking down couples who flee to the cities in an effort to escape their homicidal “loved ones”.

    And remember this hideous case from just a couple of weeks ago?

    “Pakistan: Woman stoned to death by her family for marrying man she loved”

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/05/pakistan-woman-stoned-to-death-by-her-family-for-marrying-man-she-loved

    And this happens all over the Muslim world—as well as in the West, wherever there are Mohammedans.

    What a loveless creed Islam is!

    More:

    Police said the case had not been registered so far…
    ……………………………….

    And it may never be. While this bloody barbarism *is* technically illegal there—likely a leftover influence of civilized Western law—such cases are not often prosecuted, and convictions are even rarer.

    Officially there were 791 honor killings in Pakistan in 2010, while Amnesty International cited 960 incidents of women alone who were slain in honour killings that year. The actual prevalence is probably *even higher*.
