Pakistani teen burnt alive by her mother for choosing own husband

Pakistani teen burnt alive by her mother for choosing own husband
AFP - 6/8/16

A Pakistani mother on Wednesday burnt her 16-year-old daughter alive for marrying a man of her own choice, before shouting on the street to neighbours that she had killed the teen for bringing shame on her family. It was the third so-called "honour killing" in the South Asian country in as many months, and a rare example of the crime being carried out by a woman.

Zeenat Bibi, 16, was set on fire by her mother Perveen Bibi in the eastern city of Lahore a little more than a week after the couple had acquired their marriage licence, police said. "Perveen Bibi killed her daughter Zeenat Bibi by burning her alive around 9:00 am on Wednesday," Haidar Ashraf, a senior police official told AFP, adding the teen had married a man named Hasan Khan on May 29.

Pakistanis are not Asians. Not sure why the media keep on writing that. Most Asians are Buddhists.

Unfortunately, so-termed honour-killings are not unusual among tribal folks in, for instance, Pakistan.

Pakistanis are Asians. India and Pakistan are part of Asia.

Geez, when my Pakistani friend said his mother would kill him if he married more than one woman I guess he wasn't joking.

Poor kid, arranged marriages are bad enough as it is without the brutal slaughter.

Some, after they migrated to the West, committed honour-killings; they will face jail-sentences, for instance in The Netherlands.

Would it be out of line to question whether a Judge of Pakistani decent may not be impartial?

I am over-asked a to your question.
My guess: Depends on how many family-members that person has back there in tribal environs, and whether they are under pressure.

Could the same question be asked of a US Judge of Mexican decent......

Ummmm.. No. It's part of Asia, that's about it. Are Russians Asians too? Russia lies in the Asia continent.

Somebody calling them Asians would not be wrong even if that is not what you think of when you think "Asian".

Dunno. I suppose, we need more data to evaluate that question, before even starting to provide an answer. Perhaps some precedents would serve, for starters?

Pakistanis are not Asians. People are free to call them what they want.
