Release Dr. Aafia Siddiqui


She is your Sister

She lays on the ground, bleeding, broken. The shadow of her attacker recedes in the darkness. Blood has replaced her tears, and excruciating pain has choked the cries from her throat. Bruises cover her body, but none scar her so deep as the one on her heart. There she lays, your sister, a Muslim. She is alone, and when the strength to rise returns to her she will pull herself up, alone. She will wash and bandage her wounds. Then humbly, meekly apologize to her attacker, her husband.

It is disgusting that nothing will be done about this. The woman’s brothers won’t bother otherwise he will torture her more, the father won’t bother because if their is a divorce “what will people say”. I wonder what people will say if she dies? Society won’t bother because “it’s none of their business”.

    So why do people arrange marriages of their sisters to such louts? If they can’t find suitable candidates for their daughters and sisters, why not let the girls remain single? Surely it’s better to remain unmarried than to suffer the torture inflicted every day by their husbands and in-laws?

    I think that times are changing and in this day and age and in urban places like Karachi, a girl’s family asks for a divorce rather than let her live in that hell.

    It’s because if she reaches a certain age she will not get any more proposals and she will have to sit at home unmarried for the rest of her life, which is considerd shameful in our society. Secondly, a lot of wife-beaters actually present themselves as very nice people before marriage.

    “She will have to sit at home unmarried for the rest of her life”. Isn’t that much better than being married to someone who beats her every day? At least she can do useful work if she remains unmarried (or marries at a later age, like 30).

    So it’s the illiterate ones who do the beating? Like those who live in the northern areas and in the slums of cities throughout the country?
