A Pakistani woman who tried to flee her arranged marriage killed her husband and 12 of his relatives using poisoned milk, authorities said.

Police claim Asiya Bibi laced her husband

In the U.S., she would have been acting in self-defense.

Not guilty! (and I have not seen her picture yet)

So she goes from slavery to be put to death soon....wonder if she will mind that much if she was that desperate that she wanted to wipe out a whole family...isn’t islam wonderful?

[njslim]

I wonder what she used that was so effective everyone died.

Works on Muslim rats.....

Something tells me that she knew exactly what she was doing, and it wasn’t just about “her” arranged marriage. It was a lot stronger message than hating her own situation.

She wanted all future husbands of arranged marriages to be fearful of their “forced” wives. And she wanted her culture and that of Muslims to change. Forcing a woman to marry someone that she has no feelings for, is forcing a lifetime of misery on the woman. It is the cultural and religious practices that need to meet instant deaths.

Really powerful stuff.

Cyanide?, smells like almonds

Well at least now she won’t have to marry her husband’s brother...or cousin...or heck, anybody else in the immediate family.

I should object to this mass killing, but I can’t find it in myself to condemn her.

[eyeamok]

Can we hire her to work at the COngressional Kitchen??

So the wedding is off?

Give her the Humanitarian of the Year Award and post the recipe on the web.

Think of them as arranged deaths.

http://nypost.com/2017/10/31/woman-fleeing-arranged-marriage-fatally-poisons-husband-and-his-relatives/ The New York Post article from yesterday was clearer about what happened... A Pakistani woman who tried to flee her arranged marriage killed her husband and 12 of his relatives using poisoned milk, authorities said. Police claim Asiya Bibi laced her husband’s milk last week, and that after he didn’t drink it, the spiked liquid was used to make lassi, a yogurt drink, which she served to him and his extended family, the BBC reported. Along with the 13 dead from last Thursday’s poisoning, 14 more were hospitalized, police said.

So... based on the latest report of 17 dead, it would appear that a few more of hospitalized ones didn't survive.
