Pakistani Girl Thrown to Dogs
By Amna Gilani • Oct 28th, 2008 • Category: Misc • 26 Comments •There is more to the bone-chilling account of the 17-year-old Taslim Solangi of Khairpur who was thrown to dogs ?she was 8-month pregnant and was forced to give birth to her baby prematurely.
The baby was immediately thrown into the nearby Ubhal Wah canal after her killer father-in-law passed a judgement that the child was illegitimate and did not deserve to be allowed to live.
Meanwhile, a new report said hit men have also been dispatched to Karachi to kill the absconding mother of Taslim who had fled the village. Top level inside sources have now confirmed to The News on good authority that at the time of her murder Taslim was to give birth to her first child in two-week time.
But, once the decision to eliminate her was taken by her father-in-law Zamir Solangi, she was taken to a local midwife Mrs Badshaan alias Baashi for forced delivery of the child. Soon after the delivery, the baby was thrown into the nearby canal and later the mother was put to death.
In Islamabad, President Asif Ali Zardari reacted sharply to the report of killing of Taslim and has asked lady MNA Nafeesa Shah to investigate the shocking event and submit him a report. President spokesman Farhatullah Babar told The News that the president was greatly disturbed over the incident and had immediately asked Nafeesa Shah to investigate the matter.
Mr Babar said the lady MNA, who was scheduled to leave for Turkey along with Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, has cancelled her trip and decided to go to her village and probe the incident.
Meanwhile, source said, an influential assistant commissioner serving in the Sindh government, who heads the Solangi tribe, is said to have played a key role in facilitating the murder of the 17-year old girl. Mrs Zakran, the mother of the victim, is hiding in Karachi as Zamir Solangi has now dispatched hit men to kill her.
A source said: ou are talking about some one who was murdered in March, but no one is talking about the mother of the victim whose life is in serious danger after she decided to take on the killers of her daughter.?br>
The murderer is still at large, telling every body that he has sent hired assassins to eliminate the mother of his daughter-in-law. The police have instead arrested the husband of the girl, who volunteered to confess that he has killed his wife.
Gul Sher had married a woman of the adjoining Kanhar tribe from whom he had two sons and as many daughters. Taslim was the elder daughter, who was married to the son of her real uncle Zamir Solangi. One day, the mother of Taslim borrowed jewellery from her neighbours and fled the village along with her children. It is not known why she left her house, leaving her husband behind in the village.
She settled in Karachi with her children. After some time, she got her daughter Taslim married to a young man of Kanhar tribe of the same area. This marriage had taken place in Karachi. Having no idea that the young man belonged to the adjoining village of her own village, she married off her daughter to him. The Kanhar tribes have many houses adjacent to Hajana Shah, Pir jo Goth (the area of Pir of Pagara). One day, the young man took his wife Taslim to his village, as he did not know the history of her mother-in-law. By chance, some women from Hajna Shah came to visit the very house of the Kanhar tribe and learnt that Taslim had remarried to another man. They went back and informed their elders the whole story. This became a matter of enmity between the Solangi and Kanhar tribes. However, the chief of Solangi tribe and a serving assistant commissioner Sain Dad brokered a deal between the two tribes.
The assistant commissioner decided that the Kanhar tribe would pay a fine of Rs 400,000 to the Sloangi family for remarrying the girl. Likewise, Sain Dad also made the Kanhar tribe to hand over Taslim to an old man Khajan of Hajana Shah village as 蕆maanat?till a final decision. The girl was handed over to one Mulla Ajao who later handed her over to Mr Khajan who kept her in his home.
But one morning Zamir Solangi came to Khajan with holy Quran in his hands to assure him that if he handed over his daughter-in-law, he would not harm her. He vowed on Quran that he would not kill her and would keep her at his house. Zamir also gave a word on Quran to her frightened niece and daughter-in-law Taslim that he would not kill her. Khajan agreed and handed over the girl to Zamir Solangi.
After taking the girl to his home, the first thing he did was to take the pregnant Taslim to a midwife Baashi to arrange the delivery of the child whose actual date of delivery was still fifteen days away. The moment the child was born, he was thrown in the Ujhal Wah canal.
Zamir Solangi forced his son Ibrahim Solangi to declare that his wife was a 蕱aali? He asked his son it was better that he confessed to police that he had killed his wife for being 蕱aali? as it would be easy at the later stage to get him out of jail after some compromise, as happens in the cases of honour killing. Ibrahim went to the police station and confessed to have killed his wife in the name of honour. Thus the real killer managed to escape arrest.
Meanwhile, the Ahmedpur police station officials did not show any interest in further investigating the whole issue after the husband of girl surrendered before the police. Talking to The News, DSP Khairpur Liaqat Abbasi said it was a simple case of honour killing, as the husband had confessed to the crime and was in jail. He claimed that there was some dispute over the payment of money, which had actually led to big hue and cry.
Meanwhile, MNA Nafisa Shah, who belongs to Khairpur, has condemned the incident of Taslim Solangi murder, which she termed as cruel, inhuman and barbaric. She also condemned the role of the Jirga.
There have been numerous cases where the MNA, a former Nazim, has taken personal risks and saved lives of many women. There have been other cases when she learnt of deaths months after the incidents and ordered enquiries and the culprits were brought to justice. This has been duly acknowledged nationally and internationally, as she received a number of citations on peace and human rights.

That is a reason I called my men’s society as group of impotents. whose all powers are focussed on helpless communities.We are savage, stone age people as such things are happening when we have a Balochi president,Sindhi women speaker, sindhi minister of information,pure sindhi chief minister and a feudal prime minister.Its only courage of media and common man that is highlighting such horrible incidents.Another shame full act that again shows that the mentality of influential groups is as equal as Arabs had before the advent of Islam.This time it is clear that no Prophet will come to guide them so our women folk should be ready to buried alive or gain strength to call those men as Kari who order or watch such heinous crimes as show of their power..
“She had sex outside of wedlock and paid a well-deserved price”
Won’t you agree Amna? Afterall, just a few days ago you were advocating the righteousness of bomb blasts at “dating spots” in lahore

Such a savage comment from a people of so called modern world.This is again proved that modernity never lies in wearing western dresses or using internet or other latest technology.if you are unable to broadened your mentality then surely you are still living in stone age. I wish our society would be able to punish men of our society who have “sex outside of wed lock and paid the same price as she did” then I think justice would be done.if some how this happened then I am sure that dogs population would be found less in front of which the criminals would be thrown.
Guilty or no guilty of adultry, no body got the right to through anyone in front of dogs, i can just describe it as “a hideous act of barbarism”.
[…] indeed ever heard of that term. So, you see, despite my usual preparedness for the abornally grim, stories like these still manage to scare me insane and fuel unbridled rage within me. Wrath is what I feel, rising […]

It’s again absence of Law and order in Pakistan.

This what we are always TOLD ” Islam say pehlay Arab Mukamal Tareeki main dooba hua tha.”
Arabs were successfull shrewd traders, they travelled around many countries. Among them were Jewish and christian people. They were well aware of religions and code of ethics and lived as a civilized society.
They had some evil customs and lack of unity, they did worship idol, but were also aware of Hazrat Ibrahim PBUH and presence of house of God Kaaba in Macca.
All the Sahabas and new Muslims were very knowledgeable and wise when accepted Islam.
It always bothered me, now you mentioned it, so did I.
well…watever said. done and heard, there’s no second opinion this is a savage act. Karo-kari (Honour killing) has nothing to do with the word HOUNOUR. WAt HOUNOUR THAT PERSON EARNED from ALLAH Almighty, who killed these persons brutally?
SImply non-sense!
thats it.

You know there are sick people on here who have left those absurd comments. It is people of this mentality thatthe society of pakistan lives in the dark ages. Let me be blunt, those who have left pathetic remarks, how would you like it if this happened to your mother or daughter? if any of those things happened that Amna has higlighted in most of her stories, the brutality against women, how would you like it it happend to your sister, mother daughter or wife? put a lid on your filthy mouths.
As for Amna, you are an excellent writer and you bring forth all the social diseases that exist in our sad society, some people cannot take it why you expose such happenings and reality because they are the ones suffocating the society with thier ill beliefs and sick mentality.
Keep it up!
