Please Bury Me Alive Because I want to Marry
By Amna Gilani • Aug 30th, 2008 • Category: Politics • (4,995 views) • 31 CommentsI am a female and I want to live. By living I mean that I want to decide some basic things about my life. I want to decide as when I want marry or with whom I want to marry. It’s my life and I have every right to make my choices. My humanity and my religion has given this right to me, and no freakin’ tribal customs can bury me alive, if I refuse to follow the centuries old dastardly traditions.
According to the Human Rights Commission, the brother of a PPP minister buried alive five women (including two minor girls) just because contrary to the devilish wishes of tribal elders, these hapless women wanted to marry with their own choice. In their sheer anger, the brother of Sadiq Umrani, a provincial minister in Balochistan assembly and a very powerful tribal leader in Balochistan buried those women alive and then at the spot celebrated their death with aerial firing.
When some Kamil Ali Agha, the opposition leader in Senate tried to raise the matter, the caretaker chairman senate Jan Jamali (Another Baloch Tribal leader) and Zehri (another baloch tribal leader) resisted to table the motion in this regard and they said that it was plausible and understandable whatever was happened in Balochistan and those women deserved it and it was rightly according to the tribal customs and one cannot fathom those killings by sitting in Islamabad.
What in the hell these barbaric animals are doing in Islamabad then?
Just image, right now if Mohammadmian Soomro goes abroad, then the tribal leader Jan Jamali would be ever president and then who knows they will bury me because I want to marry with my own choice.

Aftab Bhai,
You are correct in your understanding. I just did not want to get into details or create another controversy here. It has been generally accepted by scholars that an “adult” woman does not need permission to marry. My issue was with how Muslims confuse those already have been married (divorced or widowed) and are not able to get married again due to needing permission from a family member.
A woman can appoint a wali (guardian) and that does not have to be a family member. Appointing a wali is important and that should not be neglected. A wali is also important to protect the interests of the woman. A lot of Muslim women have been conned into marriages due to deceit of the man and the job of the wali is to make sure the man is suitable (in the sense of being able to support a family and of good moral character) for marriage.
And God knows best!
Regards

Doctor Sahib, may I interject my little knowledge here with your permission. An adult muslim woman, divorcee or widowed or never married before, may marry with a man of her own selection and choosing. She does not, if an adult, need any ‘Vali’s or Wali’s’ (guardian’s) consent or permission; his approval or disapproval has no legal standing whatsoever. I had followed this controversy and various cases until a verdict to this effect was announced and holds (mind you, of the four Imams - only Imam Ahmad Ibne Hanbal holds the consent of guardian necessary for a woman to marry).

Shahid,
I do appreciate you trying to make this awareness, though you are also negligent in understanding laws pertaining to Islamic marriage. A woman that has been married before does not need to seek the permission of a father, brother or blood relative to remarry. Please consult your scholars before making generalized statements.

Look at you people getting so upset over five women because it was in pakistan and they were desis. You yourself ignore the hundreds, yes hundreds of other MUSLIM women who are raped and killed and buried alive by the kuffar in kashmir (by the same country whose movies you love to watch) and in arab countries.
liberals like layla only come out when the women want to do something against Islam. But they don’t exist when women want to practice islam. I have never seen a single women’s organization stand up for women who want to practice Islam but are oppressed by the enemies of Islam. Yet I see all these funny women organizations and groups popping up roaring when a woman wants to do something against Islam.
As for the rest of you. No one can do whatever they want, islam has rules and order. Women can’t go pick whomever they want and marry and neither can their guardians marry them to whomever they want. In Islam a valid marriage is only where the guardian (father, brother, uncle) and the girl both give their consent.
When people leave Islam then this is what happens and this is what will happen.

Well, so much for the “Because I want to Marry” part…

This line I find really funny from the above story:
“Human rights organizations have expressed concern over the surge in incidents of honour killing.”
No condemnation, no horror expressed; just “concern over the surge”
The emperor is naked, indeed!

I wonder why no hew and cry about this? Is it because it happened in Punjab??

@layla
Hold on to your G-string! Instead of getting mad at me for exposing your hypocrisy, here’s a chance to get mad at something that really deserves it:
Earlier, Geo News correspondent Mushtaq Yousufzai tod four helicopters of coalition forces landed in Angaorada in the wee hours of Wednesday and started search operation.
Coalition troops killed nine people of a family of local tribesman Taj Muhammad. They further searched two more houses and killed four persons in one house and one person in another house. Five women and four children also included among the dead.
In case you miss it, those five women were ALIVE before they wee shot, as were the children. But I know you won’t show any outrage against this ’cause you are too busy walking your puppy, scooping up his popo or doing your waving your pom-poms at Pakistan getting F-16s (Any clue as too where those were that they couldn’t even stop these helicopters? Oh I forget: too busy bombing civilians in Swat)…

nota u know what gets me mad is idoit men who think because of fluk of biology they are the prime issue of the world. women in paksitan are treated worse than dogs at least where i live they have anti anmial cruelty laws. we liberal women talk about their issue because we think if we bring these issues out in front of u moronic men enough some of you might grow a bit liberal your selves and let those women you repress breathe.
