LAHORE: The Lahore High Court complaint cell on Friday took notice of a press report which said that influential landlords allegedly chopped off the nose of a labourer’s daughter over a matrimonial dispute.
The cell has directed the Bahawalnagar district and sessions judge to submit a detailed report within a week.
Reports said that Jamshed and Nadeem of Basti Sherwali along with their five accomplices barged into the house of labourer Bashir. The intruders subjected Fareeda Bibi, 20, daughter of Bashir, to severe torture and chopped off her nose.
The victim’s family said Fareeda was punished because she refused the marriage proposal of Jamshed’s son with her. Earlier, the accused party had also tried to abduct the girl but the bid was foiled by her relatives.
The police had registered a case against seven suspects on the victim’s complaint.

@Ganga Din:
Getting the last moment facials done - before they can face cameras to release statements at press conferences organised in some five-star hotel's lobby. You wont believe just how long it takes to book events in such locations nowadays - our rights to access to the five star hotels are being systemically being violated.

It is an horrendous episode to be condemned in strong words . And It is the duty of human right activists to make strong propagandas and case before Supreme Court, Parliament and Pakistan government in order to punish the culprits severely and also make a entreaty to Pakistan government in order to send the innocent Fareeda for plastic surgery treatment to any foreign countries.

Why are all the Pakistani people not coming out on the street and protesting over this barbaric act? Oh, I just realized, it was not the case of blasphemy like Quran burning or a statement that could be perceived as offensive to the religious sensibilities of the pious people of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
We have no energy to spend on trivial matters like human rights, law and order, water, sanitation, electricity, equal opportunity, science, education, etc. We have to focus on protecting our honor, our dignity, our women (who must cover all the real estate on their bodies) our belief (dare not question the basis of our belief), and above all our Islamic ideology that are being challenged by the West and its evil machinations like Youtube, Twitter, etc. etc.

Men in our culture consider women their property so this is what happens. It has ruined her life and the authorities have taken notice! If you are poor justice doesn't matter. Our society has become insensitive to plight of women.

Where is justice, I will ask CJP how long will this case take to decide and provide justice to the poor girl. For God sake such cases should be decided quickly and culprits be punished publically so that others do not dare to repeat the same sin.

Women are dammed if they refuse marriage proposals and they are damned if they make their own decision to marry some one. This country should divide in to two parts, one for men and the other for women, with no connection between them. Then let them run their own art of the country. I can bet you women will do much better than men. That is what men are afraid of, all they can do is use brute force.
And may I ask where is the condemnation fatwa on this from the CII.

It just goes to prove how right she was in refusing to marry into such a family. Why is it that these men cannot handle a refusal in a civilised manner? As for kidnap, why would any man want a wife who he knows, does not want to be with him?

In many countries the authorities would move affirmatively, publicly, and quickly, starting with a strong statement from the top and an outcry from citizens. Will this happen?

We mostly hear that the actions are taken, and the culprits are captured, what we never... never..and I mean never know what punishment they get. Until we start giving publicly punishments, these things will never stop. I blame everything to this so call democratic government who always claim the success of their policies on TV,
