In Pakistan, a woman burns her 17 year old daughter alive for marrying against the family wishes
This morning I read on Fox news that a Pakistani woman, a mother as well burned her 17-year-old daughter alive to death on Wednesday to punish her for marrying against the family wishes. Such evil action is what they call "honor killings" among the people of practicing the same religion with her. This is the latest in a series of so called "honor killings" that claim the lives of nearly 1,000 women every year in the conservative Muslim country.
Police say Zeenat Rafiq's mother, Parveen, tied her to a cot and drenched her with kerosene before lighting her on fire. Neighbors in the congested, working-class neighborhood in the eastern city of Lahore came running when they heard the screams, but family members kept them from entering the house, said Nighat Bibi, who lives nearby.
The police eventually arrived and found the charred body near a staircase. They arrested the mother soon thereafter.
