Pakistan woman stoned to death by family for marrying man she loved

[Dandelion]

I like when you get mad. =p dunno why

More women (or just people; males also) should be like her in the face of injustice. World would be a better place.

Sadly, Pakistan is still a world leader in acid-throwings and other misogyny (stoning in this case). Very sad affair. Injustice is all around the world, but in some countries it's also linked to their culture/society more so than in others.

Glad we imported millions of pakis to the west and let them retain their culture!

Britain's greatest asset.

Even by Islamic standards, Pakistan has got to be among the most cruel, repressive and misogynistic countries of all.

Traditions and cultural values are oppression, that's why I'm liberal. Cultural background never helped anyone, it's not what feed people, except in case of nationalistic politicians which are using concept of 'ethnicity' to manipulate people and take profit.

Where do you base your cultural relativism? Any proof that all ethnocultural groups cause opression?

No wonder S. Asian males are a bunch of desperate delusional horny fucks. Killing their own women for the most innocent/minor things and thus fighting each other during a shortage of women.

The utter stupidity and cruelty of this act is mind boggling. Barberic primitives. Father, brother killed their own flesh and blood because she followed her heart.

You fucking dumb shit progressives still think all cultures are equal, you dumb fucks?

Basically, I don't know if all ethnocultural groups cause oppression, but I know for sure that today none of us are obligated to let it's own life being controlled by religion and fuckin traditional codes or any other ideology. Individual comes before group, because without individuals there will be no group. Liberty is undeniable most precious value.

to be a girl in pakistan = death sentence for sure. I don't even know what kind of liberty they can have with such incredible treatments.

Do you consider the consanguineous marriage, whose offspring result to genetic malfunctions very often, and which is banned by the Christian church up to first cousin, as a limitation to your liberty?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consanguineous_marriage

The children of first-cousin marriages have an increased risk of genetic disorders, though the incremental risk enhancement is relatively small, according to many researchers.^[1][3] Supporters of cousin marriage in the West view legal bans as discrimination,^[6][7] while opponents may appeal to morality or other arguments.^[8]

What about initiatives like the one of the Orthodox church of Cyprus which does not conduct a marriage if both spouses do not undertake genetic tests for Mediterranean anaemia first?

Religion can have a positive aspect, if the religious leaders keep up with the times...
