Human rights groups in Bangladesh have demanded a severe punishment for the husband of a young wife who allegedly cut off most of her right hand. Police say Rafiqul Islam, 30, attacked her because she pursued higher education without his permission. They say Mr Islam, a migrant worker, admitted to the crime shortly after returning home from the Gulf. However there has been no independent confirmation from the suspect that he carried out the attack. The incident is one of a number of acts of domestic violence targeting educated women in recent months. Police say that Mr Islam, who works in the United Arab Emirates, tied up his 21-year-old wife, Hawa Akther Jui, earlier this month. He then taped her mouth and cut off the five fingers. 'Severe consequences'Doctors say the fingers cannot be re-attached and it appears that Ms Akther will have to live with permanent disfigurement. "After he came back to Bangladesh, he wanted to have a discussion with me. Suddenly, he blindfolded me and tied my hand," Ms Akther told the BBC's Anbarasan Ethirajan from the town of Narsingdi. "He also taped my mouth saying that he would give me some surprise gifts. But, instead he cut off my fingers." She said her husband, who is not well educated, did not approve of her enrolling in a college for higher studies. During their earlier telephone conversations, she said, he warned her of "severe consequences" if she went against his word. "Doctors said my fingers could be re-attached within six hours but he refused to give them. After that time, another relative of my husband threw the fingers in a dustbin. "We finally recovered them but it was too late," said Ms Akther, who is still recovering at her parent's house.

Surah 8, ayat 12
Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”
He’s got the right last name for this particular act of love.
but like American battered wives, she will forgive him because she loves him.....how cute
Actually, the article says she doesn’t want to live with him anymore and wants him severely punished.
She should be given a choice of his body parts to severe as justice!
Make physically sure he never reproduces again.
Whack it all off.
Evidently he married up and is feeling a bit inadequate.
I point and laugh at Muslims.
“He’s got the right last name for this particular act of love.”
Mister Eponymous.
His big mistake was not moving to Dearborn, MI first. Then Obama types could defend his actions.
She should whack him in his sleep.
Most muslim men do.
On the other hand they do have so very much to feel inadequate about...
Mr Islam?
Sounds like it could be a funny cartoon or movie. If only PC was not so rampant...
