#1 The only way to put a dent in this is with a vicious blood feud against the attackers. Hopefully to capture them and so hideously torture and murder them that it sends a message. *That* might finally stimulate the police to action.

#2 May I modestly propose a certain proportionality in response to these attacks?

Spraying acid on the penises and testicles of the offenders multiple times over the course of a day or two, giving them time to contemplate cause and effect until those organs were rendered unusable, would be a reasonable start. JMHO

#3 Yup. A crotch shot or two with fuming sulfuric acid would educate the young man.

Though I'm not sure wimmins are allowed to buy acid in Pakistain. Wouldn't be Islamic.

#4 For some reason the woman in Spain who doused a rapist (IIRC) in petrol and set him alight comes to mind.

#5 The victim's parents filed a complaint and approached the parents of the accused. "Instead of asking for forgiveness they opened fire on us and we barely managed to escape," Tayyiba's father Asad said.

Jeez, makes ya wonder where the dear boys got their enlightened attitudes from, don't it...

#6 This sort of thing was unknown to myself prior to my visiting the internet. Having more exposure to this sort of thing and the cultures that support it I can only conclude women are something like a possession. Now, not in every case. Those boys knew they could get away with it. Honor killings within families even. The women seem resigned to their fate. The governments and religion must address this. Outside intervention only at the top. Person to person efforts will fail. They will cling to the old ways - even the women.
