Wrong Cousin: Girl in Pakistan Doused in Acid for Marriage Transgression.

"Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others & because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; & (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, & leave them alone in the sleeping-places & beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great." So Allah tells his misogynistic believers, referring to himself in the third person, in his backward book of balderdash, the Koran, in verse 4:34.

Women don't have much freedom of choice in the Islamic part of the world. They are near enough to chattels as makes no difference. Add to this the Muslim's lack of self control & propensity for violence, as described by Nicolai Sennels, & you get horror stories such as this one from Dawn today (hat-tip to The Religion of Peace):

Girl suffers serious burns in acid attack by father, uncle

VEHARI: A girl suffered serious burn wounds on Thursday when her father and an uncle threw acid on her in Chak 56-K/B, Ludden, some 40kms from here.

Reports said that Rabia Bibi, with 70 per cent burns, was shifted to Nishtar Hospital in Multan in a critical condition.

Rabia had contracted marriage with her cousin Nazakat. After getting divorce from him, she eloped with another cousin, Jaffar. She returned home after a panchayat assured her that she would be married.

According to panchayat's decision, Rabia was to tie the knot with Jaffar, but her father Shaukat and uncle Riaz were not agreed on it.

On Thursday, they threw acid on Rabia and informed police that Jaffar and his accomplices had committed the crime.

The Luddan police took Jaffar into custody, bur [sic] after investigation arrested Riaz who confessed to having committed the crime. Later, police also arrested Shaukat. A case has been registered against both accused under Section 336 B and 7-ATA.
