While filling up the boredom gap last night, I came across the latest issue of TIMES magazine. The front page picture definitely got my attention. There was this disfigured feature of a lady looking into the camera. Behind this abnormality, there lies a beautiful lady under her thin freely laid veil.
Very quickly the mind was asking, what happened? I flipped though the pages searching for a related article and continue reading. This lady was just 18 years old when she was abused by hr in-laws. Out of desperation, she left the family at that young age. If you would have wondered, she was an ordinary kid who were forced to live in a cruel adult world.
So, she left. And she reaped the consequences. In the wee hours of one morning, some authoritative villagers came to her and forced her up to a cold mountain in Afghanistan. She was told that she would be punished for running away from the family despite her pleas that she would be killed if she continued staying with her abusive in-laws. No, they didn't listen to this helpless little girl. They claimed that this action will set an example to all the girls in the village.
The brother-in-law held her while the husband slowly sliced off her both ears and then her nose, alive! For one thing, who allows God's sons and daughters to be punished in this kind of manner. I really don't understand. It's definitely an act of mockery towards all innocent and helpless souls.
She was left on the mountain bleeding all the way in the cold temperature alone. But she survived this ordeal to tell her story. I am wondering how many more stories which were untold and buried with the bodies of these unfortunate victims. It's sickening. At the same time, it's sad.
Don't have to look too far. Just have a glance here. You read in the newspaper regarding illogical laws introduced to control and dictate what someone should do. So, some politicians say that we should give in to the demand of these mat rempit and build some race course for them because 'they are so bored, and that's why they have to race in public roads which will be a nuisance and danger to the public'. Hurh? So, meaning we have to give in to the rapist by providing them with hookers so they won't be raping people in public?
We have this politician who committed polygamy illegally and was only fined rm1000 and was told that he committed it unknowingly and he was not involved in making the law itself. So, he was let off leniently. Mr.Judge, I would like to ask if the same leniency can be applied to those paedophiles who were not involved in the making of children's protection law?
Now they have this law to punish those women who abandon their unwanted babies out of wedlock as a crime of murder. Then the police say it would be difficult to prove the case as murder. So, the story will go on and on and change here and there, in the end, it will end like the dust in the air.
The judiciary system in the country is being doubted. Not by any law reading person, but even a simple civilian. If the decision of a court can sway so much in the direction of the politicians or VIP, it simply means we don't have a law itself coz the law is governed by these people who hardly learn about law. The irony is that, if they would say that the sun rise from the west, then the law shall follow through without asking.
The world is getting weird and weirder eh?
