| quote: | ISLAMABAD -- A Pakistani couple accused of killing their 15-year-old daughter by pouring acid on her carried out the attack because she sullied the family's honor by looking at a boy, the couple said in an interview broadcast Monday by the BBC.
The girl's death underlines the problem of so-called "honor killings" in Pakistan where women are often killed for marrying or having relationships not approved by their families or because they are perceived to have somehow dishonored their family.
The girl's parents, Mohammad Zafar and his wife Zaheen, recounted the Oct. 29 incident from jail. The father said the girl had turned to look at a boy who drove by on a motorcycle, and he told her it was wrong.
"She said `I didn't do it on purpose. I won't look again.' By then I had already thrown the acid. It was her destiny to die this way," the girl's mother told the British broadcaster.
Television footage of the couple showed them standing behind bars in separate, but adjoining jail cells. |
Such a shame. They must have had one toxic relationship. |

| Do they carry around a thermos of acid at all times just in case or what? |

| Ugh, I can't even bring myself to make a pun about this. These horrible "honour killings" can only further erode the Ara- AH . |

Well, it's a good way to ward off any would-be muggers. Instead of getting tazed, you get a cup of acid to the face. |

| I'm just being an ass, I apologize, that was in bad taste. I really feel sorry for that little girl. What can you do, this type of senseless killing happens all over the world every day. |
