Families marry off minor girl as reconciliation
2005-10-30
Where is the terrorist connection, you ask?
Well just read down to the end of the article, and all will be revealed

A five-year-old girl was married to an eight-year-old boy in Shadan Lund in Dera Ghazi Khan district following a reconciliation reached between two families. Zulfikar Ali alias Zulfoo allegedly raped 11-year-old Mansab Mai in Juma Wani village in Shadan Lund on June 7. Police arrested him and sent the challan of the case to court. Meanwhile, Mansab Mai’s grandfather Haji Khan pardoned Mr Ali against the hand of his niece Tasleem Mai, 5, for Mansab Mai’s brother Matloob Hussain, 8, on October 23. The practice is called Wani which is prevalent in the rural areas of southern Punjab.

Woman booked for killing husband: Kabirwala police registered a case against a woman and her parents for killing her husband. Muhammad Aslam Bhatti of Faisalabad was married to Zaitoon of Kot Islam in Kabirwala in 1990. Zaitoon, mother of four, came back to her parents in September after she had an argument with her husband. Mr Bhatti came to Kabirwala to take his wife back on October 23 but she refused to go with him. On October 26, Akhtar, Mr Bhatti’s younger brother, received a message that his brother was in critical condition because his in-laws had given him poison. He took him to a hospital in Abdul Hakim where he died on October 28. Akhtar filed a murder case against Zaitoon, her parents and Qayyum Bibi, one of her sisters.

ATA section added to leg-chopping case: Police on Saturday added a section of the Anti-Terrorism Act to a case of leg chopping of a woman by her husband because he waved the amputated leg in the air which was an offence under section 7-A of the ATA. Sadiq Bhatti had chopped off the leg of his 45-year-old wife in Jalla Jeem village in Mailsi in Vehari district on suspicion of infidelity. Bhatti was produced in an Anti-Terrorism Court in Multan on Saturday where he confessed the crime. The court remanded him in police custody.

An arrestee from south of Naboo
had chopped his wife's leg in two.
The cop said, "Don't shout,
nor wave it about.
All the others will be wanting one too."

#4  because he waved the amputated leg in the air which was an offence under section 7-A of the ATA.

So it wasn't the leg chopping which was the offence, but waving it in the air. Civilization is such a wonderful thing.

#3  An 11 year old girl raped. A 5 year old girl traded. So must a 6 year old be raped/traded to fully balance The Book. What would mohammed do? An through it all, the rapist walks and is free to do it again to some other girl.

chopped off the leg of his 45-year-old wife in Jalla Jeem village in Mailsi in Vehari district on suspicion of infidelity.
His or her infidelity? It's so hard to tell.
