A Pakistani man and some of his relatives chopped off his wife's feet after accusing her of being promiscuous, police said yesterday. The woman survived the gruesome attack, the latest in a wave of assaults that have raised international concern about the plight of women in rural Pakistan.
'It is a shameful act of cruelty against a woman,' said Talat Ali, a senior police official in Punjab.'
The 32-year-old woman told police her feet were chopped off on 24 June by her husband, her father-in-law, a brother-in-law and two others after they accused her of being 'of bad character', a euphemism for promiscuous.
Violence against women is common in rural Pakistan where tribal and feudal customs hold sway.
The latest incident occurred in central Punjab province where the 2002 gang-rape of a woman, Mukhtaran Mai, on the orders of a village council, triggered an international outcry.
Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf, who is trying to project his country as a moderate Muslim nation, has condemned violence against women.
The woman in the latest incident had separated from her husband but had gone to his family's house to see her daughter, police said.
Her father-in-law chained her up and that night he and the others took her to the edge of their village and cut off her feet.
Two days later her parents reported her missing and police raided the house, found her and took her to hospital, where she remains.
'There is no evidence that she was of bad character,' Ali said.

THAT is a great idea. LOL
Good grief you could wipe out all nasty relatives in one quick meal!!!
:o)
Less outrage (by liberals) will be directed towards this barbaric act than if someone utters a perceived racial slur...that will get the left motivated to act.
Remember, we have no enemies, just friends whose grievances we have yet to accomodate.
LOL...
smooth one..
What I would look forward to if we should lose the war on terror is being killed by them or by traitorous LEO's protecting them.
Why the feet?
To end her 'wandering ways'.
To make her dependent.
To 'show compassion' rather than stoning her.
To prove they are big, strong, macho barbarian @$$hole$.
Your post was what caught my I first. Very good use of sarcasam. Than I looked at your screen name and in the wake of this horrible news I had to grin at the irony.

DUmmies are truly pathetic POS who cannot recognized an atrocity unless it is abscribed to America!
there... fixed it.
"Our elites tell us we have to be accepting of other people's strongly-held beliefs and practices and engage in a sensitive multiculturalism"
Our limo driven elites have never had their feet chopped off. They've never had acid thrown in their face, shot execution style in a soccer stadium for being raped or thrown into a paper shredder for disagreeing over simple issues. Multi- culture diversity is nothing but an illusion to lull the apathetic passive WELL FED masses. Maybe if more Americans were starved they'd get riled up enough to be alarmed about starved then (it's easier to accomplish brain washing) brain washed terrorists.
A wave of attacks...? man this stuff has been going on in that part of the world since day one. The devil took up residence in the ME.
Hey...I like that pic....every time I see a post with a middle eastern man abusing/killing his woman..I am posting that pic.. :)
