HARIPUR:

A man chopped off his wife’s nose before turning himself over to the Khanpur police on Monday. He accused her of having an affair with a man from the same locality.

The woman’s alleged boyfriend was later arrested from the man’s house, where he had reportedly been locked inside a room.

Station House Officer Muhammad Basheer Khan said that, Muhammad Riaz, a resident of Choee village, believed his wife, 22-year-old Ansar Bibi, was having an affair.

He said Riaz noticed a man quietly entering his wife’s room on Sunday, which infuriated him, leading him to chop off her nose with a razor after locking up the other man in her room.

Riaz then informed his wife’s parents, who took her to Khanpur Civil Hospital for primary treatment, after which she was shifted to District Headquarters Hospital Haripur for intensive care.

The police later arrested the alleged boyfriend, Ashiq Hussain, from Riaz’s house and registered separate cases against both men.

Sunny | 13 years ago | Reply When I read stories of this kind, I wonder why I was not born as a member of an other species(maybe a monkey or a dog or a tiger or a pig or a cow). Iam sure that the male members amongst these animals dont injure the female members to the point of no return. These animals also have the advantage of having no divisions based on religion, faith, money or color. No concept of prophets, heaven or hell amongst these living beings. What has humanity come to be?

Mark | 13 years ago | Reply Well, he's certainly justified when it comes to being angry. But, the way he dealt with it... Well, every time I see that some woman got her nose cut off I just can't imagine how the guy can bring himself to do it. That's a brutal act requiring previous thought. Not an outburst of hurt and anger.

Ali Jahan | 13 years ago | Reply @Muhammad Irfan Bajwa: First off don't equate injustices to Islam or true Muslims. Stoning is a punishment prescribed by the prophet peace be upon him, taken from the Torah. That is after the male or female in question of adultery is convicted. Also the rules of convicting an adulterer is very stringent. Whipping is also a form of punishment prescribed for adultery/fornication (zina) according to Allah swt in the Qur'an. I don't have knowledge of whether it is permissible for it to be done publicly, but it does give a message of caution to others who commit such despicable acts. Rape is of course Haram under any circumstance. Making someone parade through the 'village' naked would be considered a despicable act and form of punishment and should not be done under any circumstance. Throwing acid on a persons face is forbidden. Qur'an nor Sunnah list it specifically that throwing acid is forbidden but there are many justifications as to why it can be termed forbidden. So please, don't try defile Islam or the name of Muslims (i.e. 'soldiers of Islam') with your uneducated responses. Much appreciated.

Think | 13 years ago | Reply @shazad khan....yes. and nobody thinks it is important to dig out the true religion

shahzad khan | 13 years ago | Reply @muhammad irfan bajwa: why would we ever get tired of such work,we've been made women's 'majazi khudas' by our religion,so gods do as they wish and our women have got to take it and accept all that you've mentioned in the name of our religion.

muhammad irfan bajwa | 13 years ago | Reply don't our 'mard-e-momins' have better things to do then abuse women?? stoning women to death,whipping them in public,raping them and then making them parade naked through the village,throwing acid on women's faces,i mean come one don't you 'soldiers of islam' ever get tired of your holy work ??

uzair jamil | 13 years ago | Reply why is all the responsibility for honour and izzat heaped unfairly onto the women in our society?? why doesn't the 'majazi khuda' bring dishonour to his family when he sleeps around? why in our hypocritical society a male is called a 'real mard ka bachha' whereas if a girl sleeps around she is said to bring disgrace to her family and is told that she'll never get married ! this discrimination has to end.sleeping around is equally bad for both men and women,so the next time a woman's husband sleeps with a prostitute she should also chop off his genetalia the next time he's asleep.As islam tells us ' an eye for an eye' so ..........

MAJID ISLAM | 13 years ago | Reply this is called non sense.if it is the rule ,then man also should be treated with the same rule.women has same feelings,same release of hormones that incites her to do something like this,so why only women get punishment.why not millions of men in pakistan??????
