Sons sell off mother for Rs30,000
Bashiraan Bibi sayes she was sold to a man who tied her up and raped her.
"My husband belongs to the Shiekh clan and my sons had threatened to kill me if I remarried. That was why they sold me," says Bashiraan Bibi.
HAFIZABAD: Two men sold their mother for Rs30,000 to a man who kept her tied up and raped her for three days. The accused have been arrested by police officials.
Mohalla Saghar Hafizabad resident Bashiraan Bibi said that she had nine sons and daughters and her husband had died four years ago.
Bashiraan said that her older sons Ansar and Ghazanfar used to abuse her frequently. A few days ago, the men sold her to village Mehdiabad resident Abbas for Rs30,000. “Abbas tied me up for three days and tortured me. He raped me several times,” she told the police. Bashiraan said that she escaped Abbas’s custody after four days and reached the residence of one of her relatives.
Bashiraan then married Hafiz Bashir in the court of civil judge Iftikharul Nabi.
“My husband belongs to the Shiekh clan and my sons had threatened to kill me if I remarried. That was why they sold me,” she said. Bashiraan has sought police protection from her sons and said that she wanted police officials to arrest them. On her application, City Police have registered cases against Ansar, Ghazanfar and Abbas. City Police Station House Officer (SHO) Syed Airf Hussain Shah said that the police had arrested Ansar and Ghazanfar and were still investigating the whereabouts of Abbas.

Whats the point of publishing this kind of news ?
So that people like you may be enlightened that in Pakistan such activities occur right under your noses, while you point out such evil in rest of the world.Recommend
Glorious Citadel of Islam. Recommend
Their mother! the women who gave birth to them! I feel nauseated …Recommend
These are the people who come out on streets and asks for murdering this that and the other for allegedly being blasphemous. Never pay any bills and when there is load shedding, they will come out in herds and damage govt property or inconvenience normal public.Recommend
Oh and yea, they will also ask for sharia to be implemented in Islamic Republic of Pakistan.Recommend
Is Supreme Court CJ taking suo moto action?Recommend
First of all I am just left speechless over such behaviour of the men. Was torturing wives, daughters not enough that now men are after their mother???
Secondly I may be wrong on having my opinions but please correct me with suitable justification if I am not getting any point here. I believe print media like newspapers could be suitable for such defaming news, however, publishing such news over the Internet where it is accessible to all people (from all part of the world) is something not digestible to me.Recommend
Isn’t this worse than blasphemy? Recommend
That’s it….we’ve reached our limits now. God protect an Islamic republic in which sons sell of their own mothers – disgusting! Instead of wasting time on blasphemy laws, I would appreciate if any Mumtaz Qadris had guts to listen to this!Recommend
Avery sad news news but such kind of news should not be published on internet as they show a negative image of PakistanRecommend
ok @Hasan Sohail —– next time you will be sent you a Top Secret file to which only you will have security clearance.
Where is the ghairat brigade now?or did they just realize their mothers are assets that can be soldRecommend
Land of the Pure…filthRecommend
100% agree with Hasan sohail but think about thte media who has to do his business. Media do not care about the possible impact of any news on society and do his business regardless of any care.Recommend
must be hanged the Devils, they have distorted the face of Islam.even they are not deserved to call human,Recommend
@ Eeman: This has nothing to do with Islam. Just because they happen to be living in Pakistan and happen to be Muslims doesn’t mean their actions were undertaken because of religion. Please refrain from bringing in religious bias. It is just a very sad story and is an eye-opener to how severe our education problems are.Recommend
All I can say is…compliments to Nehru (and thanks to Jinnah) for separating such people from India..
Now the neighbors of Pakistan have to worry, what happens when the Barbaristan finally implodes…Recommend
Its at times like these that one really hopes to see a Mullah Umer type of personality take on the sleaze bags of Pakistan and leave them hanging from cranes all across the country. Recommend
well this is new low for PakistanRecommend
Now I have seen and heard it all. @IndianinAmerica, you’re right. I am eternally grateful to Jinnah for wanting a separate Pakistan. He is the real hero of the sub-continent. This news item sends an uncontrollable rage coursing through my body. For the sake of Pakistan I hope it is not true.Recommend
@Hasan sohail … “Avery sad news news but such kind of news should not be published on internet as they show a negative image of Pakistan”
LOL…..you think that there is even a shred of dignity…or even the appearance of dignity left associated with Pakistan? Why is it Pakistani’s think by ignoring such terrible Un Islamic acts going on in this country EVERYDAY, will make them go away?
Pakistanis SHOULD be embarassed and ashamed by what is going on in this so called Islamic Republic. Perhaps if they become red faced enough they will open their eyes. This information NEEDS to be published and FORCED in our faces….maybe then we will do something about it. Or perhaps Mr. Hasan sohail, you are of the opinion that you just sweep the dirt under the carpet rather than throw it out? How sad….you are only fooling yourself. The world already knows about Pakistani ways.Recommend
If Pakistanis want to project a good image to the world….then they need to be good people. Hiding and ignoring and burrying your head in the sand to this and similar acts is the reason it has gotten so bad here.
WAKE UP PAKISTAN! You have to EARN a good reputation!
This happens and is reported and the reaction of many Pakistanis is “Hide it Hide it….turn away and ignore it and it will not be fact.” It is time to FACE the demons that exist here and get rid of them and the ONLY way to do that is to got BACK to our PURE ISLAMIC roots as ONLY shown to us in the Holy Quran. We must as a whole embrace ALLAH with ALL our hearts…beg HIM for forgiveness and mercy for ignoring these problems for so long. If you do nothing about it things will only continue to spiral downward. You cannot imagine these things away!Recommend
@Omer, of course it doesn’t have anything to do with Islam neither is anybody trying to say that. But the main point is that this country has become full of terrorists/militant-fundo type mullahs who will go and blow themselves up for shariah, us ‘liberals’ on the other side, and then jaahils/illiterates like this story has eloquently exposed who it appears do things that even an infidelised kaafir/zionist or hindu wouldn’t do. One is left worrying what kind of Islam we are trying to vouch for and how Taliban-style extremism co-exists with Abu Jahal-style jahalism in the land of pure.Recommend
Not possible in any society in any country. ET should reconfirm.Recommend
Very sad. But thing like this happen all over the world and are done by evil people. I’m surprise it made it on the media. I think Pakistan needs a big sterilisation program – obviously this mother did not bring up her 9 children with good decent values. That is why I’m a big advocate of womens education, so they can pass it on to their offsprings and bring them up to be responsible and productive members of society.Recommend
@Tony Singh…
you say that it can not happen in any “SOCIETY” that is the issue Pakistan is no longer a “SOCIETY” it is a HORDE of UnEducated, Evil animals lead by even more uneducated and evil Mullahs..
these Sons must have been followers of one mullah or another.. I can gurantee it that they were * in the MADRASSA where their mother sent them to… so these are the values they learnt!!
99% of Paki society would sell there mothers for far less than the Rs. 30,000 if somone offered.
Now SIMILAR people are “protecting” the NUKES in this country.. and you think the NUKES are safe?Recommend

@Kashif….so you think this happens all over the world huh? And that Pakistan is not unusual in this? Sure yeah….we hear about suicide bombers all over the place….the thing is….they are almost always so called muslims and a high percentage of them are from Pakistan. Pakistan and Pakistanis are NOT NORMAL compared to the rest of the world. Pakistan is stuck in a time warp egged on by lack of education and the ability of the people to think critcally and analyze situations. The lack of intelect and education is what makes it easy for Pakistanis to be manipulated into these situations.
Rather than discuss or simply say to each his own as Allah had directed us to do in the Holy Quran, Pakistanis throw a temper tantrum like a 2 year old….the only difference between the adult and the childs tantrum is that the adults tantrum is DEADLY.Recommend
at let there be light:
dont point fingers at indians just yet…
in our country girls are married to Quran, they are given away to settle disputes…
they are buried alive and your elected leader in national assembly defend such acts by calling them tribal customs…
the tribal, feudal, patriarchal system in our society is slowly rotting you away in a bottom up…
mullahs are burning it from top to bottom… Recommend
how can they do it to their mother????????? The woman who gave birth to them, raise them………… OMG!!! wot on earth is going on here?????????? Recommend
This is the worst news of abuse that I have ever read or heard. I’ll be very surprised if the Supreme Court doesn’t take a sou motu action and award the criminals capital punishment if they were found guilty as accused. Recommend
