ravishingravi Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/sisters-killed-pakistan-video-dancing-rain-article-1.1386938 Two teenage sisters have been shot dead in Pakistan for allegedly dancing in the rain. Sisters Noor Basra, 15, Noor Sheza, 16, and their mother, Noshehra, were shot dead by five gunmen after a video of the two girls enjoying the rain shower in traditional dress spread throughout their conservative northern town. The sisters' stepbrother is now being blamed for ordering their deaths on June 23 in an effort to restore the family's "honor" six months after the video surfaced. That 22-year-old stepbrother, Khutore, has since been arrested for carrying out the attack according to police. "It seems that the two girls have been murdered after they were accused of tarnishing their family's name by making a video of themselves dancing in the rain," an officer confirmed to News24Online. In the video the two girls are seen wearing traditional shalwar kameez trouser suits and green and purple headscarves. Around them are two younger children they run after while directly outside their home in Chilas. One girl momentarily breaks from their dance to flash a smile at the camera. This latest tragedy comes one year after four women were executed for singing and dancing with men at a wedding in a remote village of Kohistan in northwest Pakistan. Tribal elders ordered the women to be shot dead for allegedly tarnishing their families' names by their acts of "fornication." Women and men dancing is a strict violation of Sharia law with about a thousand "honor killings" taking place in Pakistan annually to amend acts like this, according to women's rights group the Aurat Foundation. Of those killings committed nearly 77 percent end in the acquittal of criminals, according to Human Rights Commission activist Tahira Abdullah.
Prakat Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 It almost sounds like an onion article. In Pakistan there are no bad jokes, only bad news.
KhanSaab Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 SHARIA LAW :mad: Pakis :wall: R.I.P. :(( Umm this is not sharia law.

ravishingravi Posted July 3, 2013 Author Posted July 3, 2013 Umm this is not sharia law. Is it worse ?
ExpressPace Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 It almost sounds like an onion article. In Pakistan there are no bad jokes, only bad news. At least they weren't raped by a gang and left to die on street.
Swing_n_Speed Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 At least they weren't raped by a gang and left to die on street. Difference is in India the rapists were so tormented that they eventually killed themselves. In Pakistan the murderers are probably celebrated as icons.
Muloghonto Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Umm this is not sharia law. It is based on sharia law, which is a perverse exercise in sexism. This example is just extremism application of the same unequal, unethical law code otherwise known as Sharia.
carnish Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 :whack: ... Men in Pakistan who do this should be Castrated.
PriyankaSR Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Umm this is not sharia law. Isn't it based on that?
DomainK Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Difference is in India the rapists were so tormented that they eventually killed themselves. In Pakistan the murderers are probably celebrated as icons. Lets not get ahead of ourselves here. Some of us seem almost vindicated to read the news because it gives that opportunity to attack Pakistan's morality. Honor killing does not happen in Pakistan only. It happens in India very frequently as well and not just in villages among less educated people, but even educated and wealthy people in India are known to be involved in honor killing. And don't give me that "the rapists were so tormented that they eventually killed themselves" bullshit. For every rapist that committed suicide in the jail, there are thousands that are roaming the streets with impunity. And if you think in Pakistan the murderers are celebrated icons, we have mass murderers running the country and attempting to run the country. This "my **** smells better than your ****" never looks good.
beetle Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 ^+1 Like our country is a heaven for women. I really don't get this hypocrisy.... The Son of a $%#$% who killed himself didn't do it out of guilt .That person was a monster of the highest order and such people don't know guilt.
KeyboardWarrior Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 RIP to the Souls. its not Sharia Law. its based on some self-made culture "honour killing" in villages.
Sidhoni Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 But isn't Honour killing based on inter-caste marriages? Here they were just dancing.
Crookbond Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 But isn't Honour killing based on inter-caste marriages? Here they were just dancing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_Killing An honor killing, or honour killing[1] is the homicide of a member of a family or social group by other members, due to the belief of the perpetrators that the victim has brought dishonor upon the family or community. The perceived dishonor is normally the result of one of the following behaviors, or the suspicion of such behaviors: dressing in a manner unacceptable to the family or community, wanting to terminate or prevent an arranged marriage or desiring to marry by own choice, especially if to a member of a social group deemed inappropriate, engaging in heterosexual acts outside marriage and engaging in homosexual acts.
