| Islamist Shoots his wife (Karo Kari) | |
| 2004-09-29 | |
| A married woman and a man were shot dead after the husband of the woman branded them karo-kari in Hasil Shar village, near Daharki, on Monday. Bagh Ali Shar suspected that his wife, Shahzadi, had illicit relations with Sono Pitafi. He went over to Sono's house and shot him dead. Later, he shot dead Shahzadi in his fields where she had been working, and fled. An FIR was registered with the Keenjhar police against Bagh Ali, Abdul Shakoor and Abdul Qadeer. However, no arrest was made till the filing of this report. This one no less condemnable was less gruesome. Usually it involves the "wronged" man hacking his wife, sister, daughter or mother to death with an axe. The woman is forced to wear bridal clothes and a whole procession takes her to the river bank where she is hacked to death.

| #5 Makes me just want to be very unchristian and drop a thremo-nuclear device on the lot of them. They are just to stupid and backward to ever catch up with the rest of the world. If he was here I would suggest that a pick-up truck and a rope would cure him permanently. There he will get a gold star next to his name down at the local mosque. |

| #3 Worse of all it is staunchly defended by the elected representatives of the region. They refer to it as a matter of honour in which the government cannot interfere. And usually the government doesnt. |

| #2 Major Islamic faux pas... a simple acid dousing would've sufficed. |
