Yes indeed, A woman actually acting in her own interests instead of the interests of the male members of her family is indeed a capital offense in Islam.
Pakistan Tribune:
Raheela, 22 years old, received one fatal point-blank shot in the neck when the judges returned to the court room from a break at around 11:30 am.
HYDERABAD: The courts are one place where the couples, who marry against the will of their families have felt safe in a province which is a hotbed for honour killings, have considered to be their safest refuge. However, the cold-blooded murder of Raheela Sehto on Wednesday, right in front of a bench of Sindh High Court will make to-be couples stop and think for sure.
Raheela, 22 years old, received one fatal point-blank shot in the neck when the judges had returned from a break at around 11:30 am. She was killed by a lawyer, Javed Iqbal Shaikh, whose black coat helped him manage to sneak in the weapon. He is also her brother.
“He [Javed] tried to come near Raheela many times but the police pushed him back,” said Zafar Sehto, Raheela’s brother-in-law. “But he succeeded to get to her when people stood up the judges entered the courtroom after the break.”
Zafar said that these few seconds distracted the police and Javed executed Raheela. He also tried to kill her husband, Zulfiqar Sehto, but the police grabbed him before he could take an aim.
I thought people were saying honor killing isn’t Islamic?
Pakistan doesn’t check courtroom attenders for firearms??
A no-brainer in such a violent society, one would think…
Im sure that as a bottom dwelling scum sucker he will find a loohole and get off only to be hailed as a hero for his actions.
