Bangla: Housewife killed for giving birth to 'a dark-skinned girl'
2014-09-10
[Dhaka Tribune] For giving birth to a girl with dark complexion, a housewife was allegedly killed by her husband in Gobindaganj upazila of Gaibandha. The victim is Shakila Begum, 20.

A case has been filed with Gobindaganj cop shoppe in this regard.

According to the case statement, Shakila got married to Al Amin, 30, resident of Betgara village in the upazila, two years ago. Al Amin used to beat her over petty issues since the marriage.
First mistake: marrying a wife-beater.
Expecting situation to improve,
Second mistake: expecting situation to improve.
Shakila conceived without Al Amin's consent.
Third mistake: getting pregnant.
On August 30, with help of her sister, Shakila got admitted at a local clinic and gave birth to a girl. Hearing the news, Al Amin got infuriated and did not go to the clinic to meet the mother and the child.

On September 5, Shakila returned home with the new born.
Fourth and final mistake: coming back home.
Seeing the baby Al Amin started beating Shakila for giving birth to "a dark skinned girl."

At one point, Shakila fell sick and Al Amin poured poison in her mouth and left her on the premises outside the house. He locked the house and fled away.

On Tuesday, seeing the dead body lying on the premises, the neighbours called police.

Police has sent the body to Gaibandha sadar hospital morgue for an appointment with Dr. Quincy.

Al Amin and his family members have been runaway since Monday, said Gobindaganj cop shoppe Officer-in-Charge (OC) ABM Jahidul Islam. Shakila's brother Jahidul Islam has filed a case in this connection.

Quoting Al Amin's family members, the OC said Shakila killed herself by drinking poison after her husband and others called her names for giving birth to a dark skinned child.

The child is currently under the custody of Shakila's brothers, said the OC.

Because they were there to see her drink it. And not report it.

And bid you farewell before seven,
But if I perish single,
I swear that I'll mingle
With lonely muslimas in heaven.
