Elders of Shar Community declare two women Kari, one killed by husband; other awaits death in her parents’ house

Shikarpur: (Tuesday, March 06, 2012) Women in Pakistan continue to pay price for the crimes committed by the men of their tribes. Although there have been tall claims on part of government for restoring women rights in Pakistan,
but when it comes to practically implementing the relevant legislation, the executive usually holds back and let the atrocities be committed.

Today, in a similar incident, in order to settle some outstanding score, the men of Jatoi tribe in Shikarpur, Sindh, kidnapped two women of Shar community, which were later on released after the intervention by influential people
of the area.

However, the bad luck of the poor women did not end here as for being in the custody of their enemy tribe, the elders of their own community declared them Kari and decided for them to be killed. According to the reports, one of
the women has already been killed while the other awaits for her destiny in her parents’ home. The police, as ever, instead of saving the poor women, is hand in glove with those committing the heinous crime against humanity.

After orders from provincial interior minister, suspending SHO and DSP police of the area, the police have decided to lodge an FIR and to move to arrest the culprits.
