Bride gang-raped after wedding

Islamabad - A bride was gang-raped by her groom's friends on the first night of their marriage with her in-laws' consent in the southern part of Pakistan's Punjab province, a news report said on Monday.

The daily Times said Mujahid Hussain and his family allowed the bride, Kaneez Kubra, to be dishonoured in revenge for her brother's crime of having sexual relations with their daughter.

The bride's father, Ghulam Hussain, said four persons sexually assaulted his daughter in front of his son-in-law in his house in Punjab.

But her ordeal did not end there. Ghulam Hussain said on the following day she was taken to the residence of another friend and assaulted again.

"They are cruel. Hussain's grandfather and mother plainly told my daughter the wedding was just an excuse to (inflict) revenge on your brother for having sexual relations with our girl," he said.

Kubra was married to Mujahid last month on the directives of Panchayat (local jury) after it found her brother guilty of having illicit relations with Mujahid's sister.

In Pakistan's tribal and rural Punjab, women are married without their consent in compensation for the crime committed by their male family members to settle the dispute under "Swara" and "Vani" customs.

Human rights activists and Muslim scholars have opposed these customs and asked the government to take action against them.

"Islam provided for pardon, killing for killing or blood money as three options to settle murder," said Anis Ahmed, a scholar at the International Islamic University in Islamabad, adding "there is no other way and swara or any other such practice has no basis in Islam".

In 2002, eight young women, including two sisters aged two and four, escaped vani marriages near the Punjab city of Mianwali after the Supreme Court of Pakistan said the practice violated the law and norms of civilised society. - Sapa-dpa

Exactly. Gang rape, torture of humans. But, Don't Touch Our book! Phooey! Don't take pictures of me in my undies! Certainly, don't take pictures of me with undies on my head! Does the mainstream media even compute the illogic of the "religion of peace"? (That was a rhetorical question)

Think about this $#!t when some clown living in the West petitions the local government to allow Sharia Law to be used in the case of Muslim communities.

too late.

The all-wise canadians have permitted sharia as a local option legal system in muslim enclaves in Ontario (?). They also stipulated that the sharia court can't do anything against Canadian law as in stoning to death, or other ritualized murder ordeals. But give an inch and they'll take a mile.

This is why Islam fears women so much. Revenge on the men would be too sweet.

Well, once she's been stoned to death for having sex with someone other than her 'husband', islamic justice will be complete.

And the wheel of violence goes round and round...perhaps we could write a song about the wonderous beauties of Islam...

Notice that NOW doesn't speak of subjects such as this. They turn a blind eye to women being treated as a commodity in the Middle East.

Notice they never said a thing against BJ Clinton either. That would have gone against their agenda.

The destruction of America.

I guess it's ok, as long as they didn't mishandle the Koran!

Where is Michael Isikoff when we need him? Probably still down in the septic tanks trying to find the proof of the Quran being flushed. These kind of stories should make front page, where it shows the true face of this "religion of peace".

"What a bunch of barbarians....why does the civilized world allow this cancer to steal room on this planet from the rest of us?"

Because at least half the population of the civilized world are cowards, otherwise known as 'liberals'.

Sheesh!! No wonder Israel wants a wall to keep Pakistanis out. With those kinds of laws, they certainly do not practice what the Torah teaches.
