Yet another 'honour killing' in Pakistan
Thursday, 29 November , 2007, 18:41
Islamabad: A girl in Pakistan's Punjab province became victim of an
'honour killing' when she was axed to death by her father and close
relatives for allegedly having an affair with a boy from her locality.
The girl was killed after her father, Farooq Khan Baloch, became
suspicious that his daughter was having an affair with Amjad, a
youngster in Jhang tehsil in Punjab province. Seeing them together,
Farooq with relatives Sher Khan, Asghar Khan and Riaz Khan, axed the
girl to death, while the boy managed to escape, The Dawn newspaper
reported on Thursday.
The police have registered a case. It said that 'honour killings' are
widespread among rural Muslim tribes in Pakistan where the victims are
mostly female.
The spilling of blood under the garb of honour is mostly at the behest
of close family members with the aim of undoing the perceived loss of
wider family status owing to the actions of the victim.
Ghazala, a woman in the Punjab province's Joharabad, was set on fire
by her brother on January 6, 1999. She was murdered because her family
suspected her of having an illicit relationship with a neighbour.
Women in Pakistan face death by shooting, burning or killing with axes
if they are deemed to have brought shame on the family. They are
killed for supposed illicit relationships, for marrying men of their
choice, for divorcing husbands. They are even murdered by their kin if
they are raped as they are thereby deemed to have brought shame on
their family.
Often, the truth of the suspicion does not matter; merely the
allegation is enough to bring dishonour on the family and therefore
justifies the slaying.
