Curious, to tell u the truth, I dont actually believe this situation occured as such. I know it is all over the media and this woman is currently in the USA. But i ve been to Pakistan quite a few times, the Pakistani society is a very very very reserved one. When i compare it even with the Egyptian society, it is really a conservative one. I mean even before more women start abiding by the Islamic dress code, their national dress is a conservative one, women their are highly respected. It is totally unlikely that a group of tribal judges would make such judgement, I dont think so. How did this story come to the media, is known only to Allah, the truth behind it is also know to Allah. But on the personal level, I dont buy it.
Well...she pressed charges against those that hurt her and they were convicted....so the Pakistani courts found it to be true. It is also fact that she created a girls school with her punative damages.
