Early Marraiges And Bethrotals Must Be Stopped by BenzEne1(m): 8:56am On Nov 01, 2017
As coined from dailymail.co.uk


A newlywed woman has been charged with murder after a poisoned milk drink she allegedly planned to give to her husband killed at least 15 members of her extended family in Pakinstan.

Aasia Bibi, 21, was forced into an arranged marriage in September with Amjad Akram, 25. Two months into the marriage in Pakistan, she tried to flee to her parents’ house, but they forcibly took her back.

Bibi then allegedly poisoned a glass of milk to murder her husband. After he refused to drink it, her mother-in-law used it to make a batch of Lassi and served it to 27 members of the family.


A total of 15 people died while 12 others are reportedly still in critical condition.
The exact number of deaths and whether it includes children is disputed. A senior police officer said: “Aasia was forced to marry Amjad against her will.

She was not happy and came back to her parents house after a few days into marriage but her family forcibly sent her back to her in-laws’ house.

Aasia concocted the plot to avenge being married against her will and was provided with poisonous substance by her alleged lover, Shahid Lashari. .

But the plot went awry when Aasia’s husband did not drink the glass of milk she handed to him. Instead, her mother-in-law used the tainted milk to make Lassi.”

Although Pakistan recently strengthened laws designed to prevent child marriage and forced conversion, there is little legal remedy for women who reject a partner chosen for them by their family.

Pakistan accounted for the highest number of forced marriages reported to the UK's Forced Marriage Unit in 2016.

I personally believe it is time muslims come out and condemn barbaric practices like this that only draw looks of disgust from other religions on our Ummah. It is disappointing that parents auction their girl child out to money bags who pay heavily for these girls like they are contraband. We had a case of a senator paying about 10000USD to an egyptian family for a 13 year old.

Its marraiges such as these when girls are forced against their own will to marry total strangers or people they can't bond with both physically and religiously that leads to situations like this. The health issues like Vagina Fistula some of these girls go through is really disheartening. Muslim bodies worldwide have a mandate to enlighten and discourage parents from these bethrotals and early marraiges. A good place to start will be in Northern Nigeria.

Sallam.
Allahu Alam

Seconded..... Marriage should be one's choice not forced even by parents or traditions cos it's a lifetime commitment, not something of a period of time. and at least 18 years n above the person had reach a legal age of making decisions n choices

21 and 25 years that's perfect combo
what will make the wife want to run?
1. he maybe awfully ugly
2. he maybe sexually very bad and she has better experience
3. he is violent

please don't tell me about love cos our earlier parents didn't love each other before marriage but they still lived together

but she gather mind shaa
