Insult and honour: Tribal predators hunting down newlyweds in Karachi
3rd February 2012
Back home, Z and N saw their siblings dragged outside, shot in broad daylight, and buried at night without a funeral—so that their family could continue to live with ‘honour’ in the village and amid the clan.
Now in Karachi, the couple hides in a one-room house in a wholly unfamiliar neighbourhood. They fear a similar fate.
“My family declared us karo kari just because I married of my own choice,” said 23-year-old Z, bursting into tears. “We have come to Karachi for protection.”
Reminder for the dimwitted: Islam is an oppressive totalitarian ideology under the guise of a religion, with which no co-existence is possible.
