Seems tribal law in Pakistan punishes disregard women's right beyond even simple logic.Barbarious customs.
This is one of those legacies that the country has been fighting. It is not only unIslamic, rather carries a maximum punishment of death for the culprits..the ones who made that decision. Genuine Jirgas do not ever punish any person like that.
LIKE TORAH, TOOTH FOR TOOTH... BUT NOT ANOTHER INNOCENT PERSON'S TOOTH.
tribal law is from the dark ages....not islamic.
Many people claim such barbarism is not Islamic but rather cultural or tribal. However, one repeatedly hears of such cruel incidents occurring regularly across the Muslim world. I am afraid that such precedents as stoning or whipping, etc in Islamic law has allowed incidents such as this to occur in the name of Islam and is perpetrated by people who call themselves devout Muslims.
pakistan is a country that can't solve anything.....
crimes are allways happening but no one giving the dam
i feel sorry for those who live there
there is noyhing new in this kind of incident islam has always treted womens as sex slaves wheather it be prophet or his army people born in islam becoz of there sins in their previous birth
