How horrible is that? When a motorcycle passed by, their 15 yrs. old daughter, who was standing outside their home glanced at the boy riding on it. Then the father grabbed her inside the house and beated her, told his wife to get the deadly acid they use to clean their house and throw it on their daughter. When she told him " she didnt do it on purpose, he already thrown the acid on her. It burned their daughter's flesh, she was in agony but they didn't took her to the hospital, until the next morning where she died later on the same day. I can't believe how cruel this parents can be. They didn't even feel remorse and said they were justified in ending their daughter's life.

That is the trouble with 'honour killing'. Muslims who believe in Sharia law feel that is their right and instead of telling their daughters that the guy may not be right for them, that he may mean them harm, and instead of protecting their daughters, they kill them just for being curious. The thing is that when someone comes from another country that has a more savage view in life they should learn to live to the Canadian or American laws instead of the barbaric customs of their own land. I gather that you are rather afraid of telling that the family were Pakistani because you did not want people to think that you hated Muslims. Well there are Muslims who would hot do that, because they know that they would be prosecuted if they did. But as it said, not every Muslim is like that. That can be taken like this, "Not every Muslim will kill their daughter for being bold," or like this" "Not every Muslim will protect their daughter no matter how she acts." You have to take it either way.

I think it is murder, but there are some in our government who feel that because it is a religious thing, the murderer ear should get a break. Or a lighter sentence. They are the same who think that natives should get a break when they steal because they can go to the sweat lodge. There was a horrible murder up here where a man killed his ex wife and daughters because they were too modern. They said it was an honour killing. Nothing honourable about it and his new wife was in cahoots with him. I do not know if that happens here in my city. Most people here are able to get along. Or we really do not know unless the ladies were headdresses.

Hi, First of all, I don't hate Muslims and I respect them as I respect my fellow christians. In fact, I have met and mingled with lots of Muslims since I am currently living in a muslim country, where lots of people from different side of the world also lives. And I don't judge by religion, nationality or color of the skin. If I may say, I think the Muslims from this country are the modern ones, they're still very strict with the law but I never heard of honour killing. In my observation, the Muslim women here are respected and are allowed to express. They are allowed to go to the mall and live normally without fear. I know their basic laws because as an expat we also have to respect and follow them. What I don't get is the point of honour killing, to be honest I don't see anything honorable about killing their own relatives for the sake of honor or preserving a good name. I know it's important but not as important as the life of the people with the same blood as theirs.

Most muslim women here also wear abaya and headdresses. Sometimes I see women from Muslim countries who wear jeans skirt and sleeveless shirt but I'm not sure if they are muslims too. Women who wear skimpy clothes here can be arrested and get a fine but I havn't heard of someone being tortured or killed by their own member of the family. It's so sad that there are still people who believes in honour killing. I understand that it is part of their beliefs in the olden days but we are now in the modern days, they are suppose to be educated and be aware by now that if someone made something wrong they can be heard and sentenced in the court. They don't have to put the verdict in their own hands, those women didn't deserve to die for such shallow reasons.

This is a tragic story and for this happen the parents must have been sick because no parent would ever want to hurt there children i hope that these so called 'parents' rot in prison for the rest of their lives. I hate to read about stories such as these i always think that its really sad.

You are right it is tragic and terrorifying , its sad because a young girl lost her life and its also sad that a Hunan being is capable of being so evil to another human being and the fact that its that persons own child is terrible. I think that the government need to step in and make an example of those people so that people won't think of doing it in the future I think that they should definitely get life imprisonment for both of them.

Yes, that's true. Parents are suppose to protect their children, I don't think these parents knows how to truly love their children, because if they do, they wouldn't even attemp to hurt them horribly.

Hi, This happened in a village in Pakistan. These crime has something to do with honor killing and their law doesn't allow these kind of act but apparently some still practices it. I don't see anything honorable about this.

Hi, I agree with you. This is not my first time reading this kind of cruelty as well but this is the worst so far. These incidents have something to do with honor killing, this one doesn't even count, this is pure cruelty. It's not only sad, it's terrifying to live in that kind of community. Where there is no respect for women and life, as what you have said. Besides their is no honour in killing someone, no one has the right to end anybody's life especially the helpless ones for the sake of honour.

Killing for defending our family is understandable but killing his own daughter just because she take a glimpse on a boy is very insane. Men in that place must live without women.

Hi, Yes, I will agree with you, if we are defending our family from a dangerous situation or if someone else is trying to kill or hurt them. But for the sake of the name and honor? Maybe, if a family member of mine did something very bad, I will send him/her to jail, I will beg for forgiveness if I have to, throw him/her out of the family, or maybe hate him/her but to kill my own blood is totally out of the question. And yes, what her parents did was absolutely insane, they must be insane. Maybe they should be sent to the civilization so that they will know what normal people do. Or hide their women in the cave. Lol.

Hi, I think it's just normal to feel disgust towards these kind of human beings. Even I feel that they should be punished horribly, but we shouldn't put the law in our hands and if we do the same to them, then we will also end up to be like them.

That's just so sad! I feel so sorry for this girl. I can't understand how these people can justify doing something so horrible to their daughter, and not feel any kind of remorse. I can't understand why they would do that. I can't even think about doing any kind of harm to my daughter. I don't know how some parents can be so cruel to their own children.

Hi, Yes, it's truly sad and horrible. They think they justified there action by preserving their honor which I think shouldn't have to be justified this way.

Clearly, such crazy people! A person in his right mind would not do such a thing. What was wrong with looking that way? It was merely a look for a couple of seconds? The parents should be punished for what they have done!

Hi, I agree. It's very troubling to know, that there are still parents who are willing to sacrifice their own child's life to protect their family name, even in a very shallow reason and tiny unintentional mistake.

Hi, According to her father, they had to marry his elder daughter at the age of 16 for being the same way. ( what, for admiring a boy? I never thought that's a crime) And that people talk about her because of her bad character, she moved with her husband and cut off contact from her parents (smart girl). Now, that he saw his younger daughter glance at a boy he beat her and let her die. What is honorable about that? Stupid parents!

It's very sad to know that her parents are not educated on how they disciplined their daughter. sheesh I feel pity on the girl because she passed away at that young age.

Hi, I'm not sure if it's part of their culture or their belief but parents are suppose to care and protect their children not to end their lives instead. What's worse is some of these people still believe it's an honorable act to kill a member of a family for doing something shameful and disgracing their name.

What if someone threw acid on him too. Just to feel on his skin how it is like. You know it is very convenient to do to others bad things. It is not him who suffer the pain and aches. I wish such people just live a terrible life themselves, suffer from the most painful deseases, arrive to drag on earth, be blind and incapable of drinking or eating by themselves. I know I shouldn't think this way, but these ones are not human beings. Even the beasts care about their puppies...

Hi, He threw some of the acid on his arms, he still have the scars from the burn shown in the picture. For sure he felt how it stinged when he threw it on his daughter and he didn't do anything to ease her agony. Exactly, even beast would also kill another beast to protect it's young.
