Can you imagine the pain?
A Pakistani woman opposed her husband’s second marriage so he killed her. Waiting until she fell asleep with their little daughter, he and his sister threw acid on both of them. Sonia, the child, is hospitalized. Her mother, Rozina, lived for a day after being admitted to Bahawalpur Victoria Hospital.
It is hard to imagine what foul creature would defend this practice, yet it seems to accelerating in a cycle of competitive machismo.
According to my rough estimates, there has been a 200 percent increase in this. The reasons are: because it's a copy-cat crime - every man that finds out about this must say to himself: "This is easy. All I have to do is buy a bottle of acid for Rs. 25 [US $0.45] and just throw it." Now it's being used against men also and children.
