This is not how the romantic notion of “love is blind” is supposed to play out.

A young Turkish woman has married the man who threw acid on her face and eyes, leaving her permanently disfigured with impaired vision.

Berfin Ozek, 20, tied the knot with Casim Ozan Celtik, 23, this month — just two years after he doused her with the chemical substance during a heated argument, Newsflash first reported. The pair had previously dated and were said to be separated at the time, with Celtik allegedly shouting this despicable cliche at Ozek just before the attack: “If I can’t have you, no one can.”

A terrific Holmes story. My favorite TV adaptation was from the BBC’s 1965 series with Peter Wyngarde as Gruner, Douglas Wilmer as Holmes, and Nigel Stock as Watson.

The parallels to the black constituency voting 85% RAT is unmistakable.

One of Judge Judy’s most relevant sayings.

Essentially, she gave her permission to further brutalize her or kill her. You can’t fix stupid

They deserve each other.

The Polygamy group folks which are the Mooselimbs did this outrageous act of violence against a women.

Charming guy... What a lucky catch.

I’m sure he would look just fine in a hemp necktie.

I’ve seen abused wives go immediately back to their abusers too many times.

It’s why I won’t get involved in a physical conflict with the abuser.

I call 911 now.

She isn’t allowed to have self-respect (Turkey has devolved from a secular state into radical Islam again); apparently Allah won’t help her.

Having known some Turks years ago, I’d assume her family probably pushed her to stay with him. While they were fairly Westernized, they’re slipping back to full crazy...

She obviously doesn’t understand basics.

He would understand a basic baseball bat while he's asleep. Then dump him in a vat of acid.

Her father refused to attend the wedding.
