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. https://www.yahoo.com/news/pakistani-teen-burnt-alive-her-mother-choosing-own-113847056.html |

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? |

We would have less social problems if we did honor-killings.................

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. |

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. Edited by Drudge X, Jun 9 2016, 10:56 AM.
