Lama Al Ghamdi was admitted to hospital with multiple injuries, a crushed skull, broken ribs and left arm, extensive bruising and burns. Child’s rectum had been torn open and the abuser had attempted to burn it closed. She died.
‘The judge had ruled the prosecution could only seek blood money and the time the defendant had served in prison since Lama’s death suffices as punishment. The ruling is based on Islamic laws that a father cannot be executed for murdering his children, nor can husbands be executed for murdering their wives.’
A father cannot be executed for murdering his children, nor can husbands be executed for murdering their wives. But a mother should be executed for murdering her children and wives should be executed for murdering their husbands. Right?
Will Muslims continue to tolerate misogyny, barbarism, inequalities and injustices of Islam?
