I am so enraged I can hardly speak.

Why do we let this go on one second more? Revolting , disgusting, horrific.......I hate every word of these stories.

However: Thank u for posting them

If they can live it- we can read it and face the truth.

We f**cking have to do something to help!

She can be killed by her own son, husband or brother, or her in-laws, with complete impunity and merely on the suspicion of being a kari. She can be killed in cold blood if she declines, which she seldom does, to marry a person chosen by her parents. Only recently a poor girl hanged herself to death as she was being married against her will" (4). And this is what <I>The News</I>, another English-language daily, had to say about the helplessness of rural women: "These voiceless creatures, shackled in a primitive mode of life, are treated worse than even tradable commodities: they are but household possessions, living and dying at their males’ whims" (5). Pakistan’s "men of honour" have the right to be unfaithful. Few forgo that right, even if it puts their partners in mortal danger.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E27433E9-AE0C-4917-8649-D25CB046F2B4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
