                                            Another "honour killing"

Girl falls victim to "honour killing" 

A teenage girl fell victim to the barbaric tribal custom of "honour killing", this time in Karachi, Pakistan's largest town and port city. Deeba Shah, 15, resident of Z-260-A, Chanesar Goth, Karachi, got married with his neighbour, Urs Khaskheli, a week back. On Thursday last, Deeba's family received a legal notice to allow her to go with her husband. The family asked Deeba if it was true. On her affirmation, the family held a night-long meeting and, finally, decided to kill her.  Her mother's brother Sikandar Ali Shah allegedly shot her dead Friday morning.  Earlier, Urs Khaskheli had submitted an application to the police officer in charge of the Mehmoodabad police station that Deeba's family might hurt her but the police did not take any action. In his application, he had mentioned her age as 19. He had expressed apprehension that his wife could be murdered. It is said that the girl belonged to a Syed family while her husband was a Khaskheli whom the girl's family consider an inferior caste.  Police have taken the alleged murderer and his son into custody, and are investigating.
