KABUL, Afghanistan -- An Afghan man says his pregnant 14-year-old daughter was burned to death by her in-laws, the latest reported case of violence against women in the country.
Afghanistan faces serious human rights issues, including physical and sexual violence against women and so-called honor killings that often involve immolation.
The 45-year-old father, Mohammad Azam, said Monday he came to Kabul to seek justice for his daughter Zarah. He says she was tortured and set on fire by her husband's family last week. She died on Saturday.
He says her killing, which happened in a remote area of central Ghor province, was in revenge after he had eloped with a cousin of his daughter's husband.
Zarah's in-laws had allegedly reneged on a marriage deal with him and promised the cousin to another man.
Honor killings are not uncommon in Afghanistan or neighboring Pakistan -- both deeply conservative Muslim societies.
Azam came forward a day after the brother of slain Pakistani model Qandeel Baloch confessed to strangling her to death for "family honor" because she posted "shameful" pictures on Facebook.
Baloch, who had become a social media celebrity in recent months, stirred controversy by posting pictures online taken with a prominent Muslim cleric. She was found dead on Saturday at her family home in the central city of Multan.
Police arrested her brother, Waseem Azeem, and presented him before the media in Multan, where he confessed to killing her. He said people had taunted him over the photos and that he found the social embarrassment unbearable.
Nearly 1,000 women are murdered in Pakistan each year for violating conservative norms on love and marriage. The so-called "honor killings" are often carried out by family members.
Such killings are considered murder. But Islamic law in Pakistan allows a murder victim's family to pardon the killer, which often allows those convicted of honor killings to escape punishment.

people talk about pedophiles and what should happen to them and then welcome Islamic pedophiles into our country and it's disguised behind "arranged marriage" and family honor...just friggin crazy !
Godfather.
That said, while fictional, your namesake was an immigrant who came to American with some shaky values...

1. Honor killings are not actually a part of Islam
2. Honor killings are a regional cultural aberration that has been occurring for way longer than Islam has been a religion.
Know your facts before making accusations and hateful comments.
And NO I am not defending honor killings but your extremely high level of fear, hate, and ignorance clearly blinds you to the truth.
Godfather.
it's too risky in my opinion and the news and social media have proven that to be true on many occasions.
sometimes I get angry and say screw em all !.......knowing that not all people are evil but it's turned into a trust and risk situation and trusting islamist has ruined the lives of thousands of Americans in short amount of time already, trust is not one my stronger quality's.

"Such killings are considered murder. But Islamic law in Pakistan allows a murder victim's family to pardon the killer, which often allows those convicted of honor killings to escape punishment."
Most historians believe that Islam originated in Mecca and Medina at the start of the 7th century.
The origin of honor killings and the control of women is evidenced throughout history in the culture and tradition of many regions. The Roman law of pater familias gave complete control to the men of the family over both their children and wives. Under these laws, the lives of children and wives were at the discretion of the men in their family. Ancient Roman Law also justified honor killings by stating that women found guilty of adultery could be killed by their husbands. Among the Ching dynasty in China, fathers and husbands had the right to kill females deemed to have dishonoured them.
Do the very simple math....both the Roman empire and the Ching Dynasty were around long before Islam was started.
Also...
Catholicism and christianity both came about in the Roman Empire which was practicing honor killings long before there was Islam.

"trusting islamist has ruined the lives of thousands of Americans in short amount of time already"

Qandeel Baloch's brother has admitted to the religious aspect of this. You can say Islam has nothing to with it all you want but the believers do not agree with you anymore. That might be hard to accept but it's fact.
911, San Bernardino, Boston, Nice, France etc. etc. etc. who else straps on a body bomb and walks into a crowded public area, for crying out loud they strap very young kid's up with bombs and send them into crowded areas.
just say'n it's become to risky to trust a group of people that have caused so much death and disaster.

Godfather's rationalization for the deportation of all Muslims, and the ban of further Muslim immigrants:
Premise 1: Casualties are caused by terrorists
Premise 2: Many or most terrorists are of the Muslim faith (even though the percentage of Muslims who are terrorists is low)
Premise 3: A good proportion of American Muslims have lived in America for most of or all of their lives, but even these people have been indoctrinated to hate by inherent culture-driven hatred
Conclusion: All Muslims living in America should be deported, and no further Muslims should be permitted to immigrate to America
Now, Ben's rationalization for the deportation of all men, and the ban of further male immigrants:
Premise 1: Casualties are caused by terrorists
Premise 2: Many or most terrorists are male (even though the percentage of men who are terrorists is low)
Premise 3: A good proportion of American men have lived in America for most of or all of their lives, but even these people have been indoctrinated to hate by inherent culture-driven hatred
Conclusion: All men living in America should be deported, and no further men should be permitted to immigrate to America
Am I missing something, or is it true that based on Godfather's own logic, he doesn't have any more or less right to live freely in America than a Muslim?

They got some seriously awesome climbing routes and mountaineering areas.
Food is really good as well
Tortured and set on fire. Way to to f**kface. F**king pig. F**king subhuman mutant.
Islamic law says the victim's family can pardon the killer? So in other words... "Hey. If you're okay with it can we just move on? Are you down with this? She was just a lowly female."
Sounds about right though. People around here talk about how shitty it is to 'seek revenge' (when people are seeking justice... is there a difference?).
What's done is done. Move on, eh? Sure. Just don't torture and burn to death any more women though. Okay? Okay.
Remember this fiasco here a few years ago? http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2011/03/14/17610021.html
For all the americans here and TB our new happy days prime minister changed the word barbaric for some immigrants who come to feel at ease if they are offended at the word for their previous cultural practices.
I for one think barbaric should be in the guide for all those coming to Canada from places that do this evil.
