Pakistani Man Is Blinded By Their Father, Brothers For Wanting A ‘Like Marriage’
Abdul Baqi ended up being blinded having a spoon by his or her own dad and brothers at their property in southwestern Pakistan because he insisted on marrying a woman that is young he’d dropped in deep love with.
“I am able to endure without my vision, but i cannot live without love, ” Baqi recently told RFE/RL he suffered at the hands of his relatives in May 2018 as he reflected on the terrible trauma.
“Now i will be such as a seafood away from water, ” claims Baqi, 26, a ethnic pashtun from town of Loralai when you look at the northeastern section of Balochistan Province.
Baqi’s horrific story illustrates that ladies aren’t the only victims in Pakistan of so-called “honor crimes” — a scourge of physical violence which has had included acid attacks, blinding, and murder by family members of victims accused of dishonoring their own families.
