A 17-year-old girl and her husband were killed by her family for marrying without its consent, and another young woman was burned alive by a man for refusing his proposal in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province, police said Sunday.

Muafia Bibi and her husband Sajjad Ahmed, 30, were killed in Satrah village Friday night, allegedly by her parents, two uncles and her grandfather, said Asghar Ali, the area police chief.

He said the couple was hacked to death with a butcher’s knife, and that all five suspects have been apprehended.

Ali said the couple married on June 19, and that the family had lured them back home by saying it accepted the marriage. He said it was Ahmed’s third marriage, with the first ending in divorce and his second wife leaving him after he married Bibi.

Elsewhere in Punjab, a man burned alive a young girl he wanted to marry after her family refused his proposal. Fayaz Aslam, 26, doused Sidra Shaukat in gasoline before setting the 20-year-old alight in a field, said Akhtar Saeed, a district police official.

Saeed said the girl was taken to hospital where she died overnight. He said Aslam was arrested for murder.

Marrying for love is a taboo among conservative Muslims in Pakistan, where hundreds of people are killed each year by their own relatives over alleged sexual indiscretions, which are believed to bring shame upon the family. The victims are usually women but in some cases couples are killed.

Tell your people to get out of the stone age and maybe people won't have such bad stereotypes(which are constantly reinforced) of your religion

answer this first (and i might be wrong about this): there is a loophole in sharia law that muslims use to justify honor killings, since the family can forgive the criminal for a crime. true or false?

and B, why wouldnt civilized countries oppose the spread of that bullshyt

That law doesnt justify honor killings, the lady married the dude who the family didnt want her to marry, they killed her, her husband has say in the forgiveness of the killers too. So the family/associates of the killers dont call all the shots. Hence destroying your argument about the law. That law proves Islam is a mercyful religion that believes in forgiveness, but you try to twisty beauty into uglyness you should be ashamed of yourself, friend.

your argument STAYS bein ignoring what actually happens in islamic countries, as opposed to what the quran says. i guess as a religious person, you arent grounded in reality in the first place, but damn

Stone age would indicate they would still be using stone technology.

To me the reason for why the Muslim world is so behind is due to the Mongols and fall of the Ottoman Empire. But especially the Mongols. At a time the Muslim world was far more advanced than the Western world; they actually preserved the knowledge from past civilizations like Greece, Egypt, Byzantine, Persia,etc. But due to the Mongols sacking Baghdad, that knowledge was lost. And so they became backwards and entered their own dark age. This is similar to how Europe entered their dark age after the Roman Empire fell and Roman knowledge was lost.
