UK: 'Family turned a blind eye' as teenage bride was beaten to death by arranged husband

In my Human Events article today about the murder of the Said sisters, I wrote, "Muslim spokesmen in the U.S. have an all the more urgent responsibility to end their denial and confront these cultural attitudes. If they don’t, and instead continue to glibly insist that religion has nothing to do with what happened to these poor girls, the murders of the Said sisters will only be the beginning of a new American phenomenon."

And a new phenomenon in the U.K. as well.

"'Family turned a blind eye' as teenage bride was beaten to death by arranged husband," from the Daily Mail (thanks to Josephine):

A teenage bride was beaten to death by her husband while her in-laws stood by and did nothing, a court heard yesterday.

Sabia Rani, 19, was repeatedly attacked over a three-week period, suffering bruising to 90 per cent of her body and "catastrophic" injuries usually only seen in car crash victims.

She had arrived five months earlier from Pakistan for an arranged marriage to Shazad Khan, 25, of Oakwood Grange, Leeds, a jury at Leeds Crown Court was told.

But Khan's family, with whom she lived, took an almost instant dislike to her, said Simon Myerson, prosecuting, and Khan began beating her.

The attack which killed her was "prolonged and vicious," the court heard.

Her agonising rib fractures were caused by "kicks, stamps or very hard punches".

The victim's mother-in-law and a sister-in-law blamed the injuries on "evil spirits, curses and black magic".

But after Khan was convicted of murder at Leeds Crown Court last January, police investigated the role of other family members.

They arrested and charged the victim's mother-in-law Phullan Bibi, 52, sisters-in-law Nazia Naureen, 28, and Uzma Khan, 23, and her husband Majid Hussain, 28.

All deny a charge of allowing the death of a vulnerable adult. Khan and Hussain also deny perjury....

And of course we know that such people would never lie!

I dunno , its the difference in cultures I guess,for the first three weeks of my marriage we were busy making love. It appears in Islamic marriages the first few weeks are spent getting the bride used to getting the crap kicked out of her,as if her father hadn't already done that.

The viciousness of the other women involved is surprising ,but when you look at how the women that are usually so militant in this country over women's rights just ignore stories like this ,maybe it isn't. You would think Hillary would be making this a human rights issue in her campaign.

The race is too close for Shrillary to pizz off this voting block. Besides, if she took a stand, she would be expected to do something about it.
