A father and six brothers who chopped off their relativeâs arm and leg each received a few years of rigorous imprisonment. Civil Judge and Kabirwala Magistrate Syed Naveed Raza Bukhari gave between five and seven years rigorous imprisonment to a father and six brothers who chopped off the right arm and right leg of their 18-year-old relative Safia in Mahni Siyal in Kabirwala. âAhmed Bakhsh, with the help of his six sons Zafar, Dilbar, Iqbal, Mazhar Hussain, Nazar Hussain and Ajmal, cut off the right leg and arm of his daughter Safia on January 15, 2002, because she did not obey her fatherâs orders,â a court official said.
| I guess that'll teach her. A stern word and maybe a spanking always worked for me, though... |
Zafar, Dilbar and Iqbal got seven years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs 130,000 and the father and Mazhar, Nazar and Ajmal were given five years rigorous imprisonment. Half of the fine will be given to Safia as compensation or diyat.

Safia wanted to marry her cousin but her parents insisted on fulfilling a marriage contracted while she was a child. She filed a case in the court through her fiancé and was granted a separation even before she went to her husbandâs home. When her parents found out, her father and brother cut off her arm and leg with a sharp weapon.
| Well, I guess honor is preserved. Though now they're a whole family of jailbirds. I'll bet COPS could film some interesting episodes in Multan... |
