Another “Gun Death” from the “Religion of Peace”:
A woman was stoned to death by her own family in front of a Pakistani high court on Tuesday for marrying the man she loved, police and a defense lawyer said.
Nearly 20 members of the woman’s family, including her father and brothers, attacked her and her husband with batons and bricks in broad daylight before a crowd of onlookers in front of the high court of Lahore, said police official Naseem Butt.
Seems so alien to us. Hell even tho I knew he would be happy, I forwent the tradition to ask my Father-in-law for permission to marry my wife. We also didn’t ask him to pay for the wedding. We were both adults, I don’t see any reason to involve our families in our decision to get married, nor our wedding plans. They certainly didn’t seem to care either.
Hundreds of women are killed every year in Muslim-majority Pakistan in so-called “honor killings” carried out by husbands or relatives as a punishment for alleged adultery or other illicit sexual behavior
These deaths are almost always non-gun deaths, with anything from beheading, to burning the woman to death. Of course we shouldn’t be concerned about this because only “Gun Deaths” count!
