Days after 17-year-old Zeenat Rafiq eloped with a man against her family’s wishes, her relatives asked her to return home so they could throw her a proper ceremony.
“Don’t let me go, they will kill me,” her husband Hassan Khan recalled her saying, according to the Associated Press.
She was Punjabi. He was Pashtun. Her family was furious that she ran away and got married without their permission.
An uncle eventually convinced her to return. On Wednesday, Zeenat was burned alive by her mother.
Police say the mother, Parveen, tied Zeenat to a cot and poured kerosene before setting her on fire, according to the Guardian. It's the latest of several "honor killings," a practice that kills hundreds of girls each year in Pakistan.
Zeenat's body was charred when police found it, AP reported. It showed signs of beating and strangulation, Officer Ibadat Nisar said.
When police confronted Parveen, she confessed to killing her daughter with the help of her son Ahmar.
Officer Sheikh Hammad recalls the mother saying, “I don’t have any regrets.”

Here is prayer for the young woman...
ReplyDeleteGive her and her son the same treatment, the crazy BI***.
ReplyDeleteCULTURE
ReplyDeleteShe lives in a far away land with a different culture.
That was the great thing about creation. It afforded many different experiences in life. Her experience is horrific. But it is her experience. Not mine.
The two cultures cannot be mixed.
Satans religion at work destroying.
ReplyDeletethese people need the death penalty...all others must go back to their own culture. they can not assimilate. evil at best.
ReplyDeleteSo, kill Hubby for enforcing this within 30 days, and let Mom have 30 days after that to either renounce Sharia or be physically deported to an Islamic country of OUR choice.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, this is why a country created by Christian principles and a country ruled by Muslims should never be combined. They're incompatible.
ReplyDeleteJust remember, Islam is a religion of peace, at least according to the POTUS. LOL!
