| Bigamist beaten at Islamabad airport by his 7 wives | |
| 2011-02-13 | |
| [Arab News] On arriving in Islamabad on board a PIA flight from Manchester on Saturday, bigamist Javed Iqbal was surprised to be met by the seven women who he had married on different visits to Pakistain. Unknown to Iqbal, the seven women -- from different Pak cities -- had come to know each other and of his multiple marriages. Instead of greeting him with garlands of flowers, the women had come to confront him with their shoes in hand. The women, who had come with their mothers, had learned that Iqbal was coming once more in search of an eighth wife. Offering him no smiles as he came into the airport foyer, the women set upon Iqbal who yelled and begged for mercy. What was further unlucky for him was the fact that a TV cameraman filmed the women beating Iqbal at the taxi stand. "His method to marry a girl has always been the same. He would say he would take them to London," one of the women told journalists. Iqbal is from Mirpur, Azad Kashmire, and went to the UK in 1998. He worked as a handyman and now owns a grocery shop. It is unknown whether he has any wives in the UK. As the beating ended, Iqbal took his families to Mirpur in two vehicles, telling AAJ TV, "I only married three girls. I divorced the fourth one."

| #2 Before we pass judgement we should pause to recall multiculturalism's mantra that all cultures are of equal intrinsic value.(/sarc) If this was a white (or any non-muslim) British bigamist turning up in Pakistan and getting ambushed by his seven irate wives, it would be headlines on the BBC, and the man would become Public Enemy Nmber One (for at least a week). As things are, this isn't newsworthy, just a minor intra-cultural incident. Women's rights, amongst other things, don't apply if you're born muslim. The BBC: Double Standards. It's What We Do. |
