Husband to hang
By AP


DHAKA, Bangladesh -- A Bangladeshi court sentenced a man to death by hanging for hurling acid on his nine-year-old wife, leaving her partially deaf and blind, one of her lawyers said yesterday.

The accused, Swapan Gazi, poured a glass of acid on the girl's face and head after she refused to leave her parents' house for his, lawyer Salma Ali said. He was ordered to pay the equivalent of about $1,200 Cdn in damages.

That acid in the face thing is all too common. They should keep hanging the offenders until the message gets out that the practice is not a good idea.

Yeah. He should have waited until she was twelve to marry! Then she can have kids.

And all this time I thought it was just the polygamists in Utah that did that sort of thing.

man, I don't want to DATE a 29 year old girl who lives with her parents, let alone marry one.

but my priorities are changing

watch as these cultures change too. I would bet many practices to this extent are alomst gone, which is why it made the news.
