Acid and Fire Attacks

I have never had any tolerance for violence or abuse of women or children, especially domestic. Anyone, who abuses the sanctuary of the walls of homes, deserves no respect in return. In my eyes, the psychological abuse is probably worse. You kill or seriously wound the soul of the other person. Psychological bruises take a long time to heal, if ever. I read an article about acid and fire attacks against women. Such cowardliness acts make me sick. The even worse part is that the tormenter usually escapes unpunished and are family members or close relatives. Amazing. Unacceptable.

Let us look at two examples. One example is Sabir Sultana, 30, who was newly married and pregnant. Her husband thought that they had received a poor dowry from her parents - why he poured acid over the woman, who expected his children. The scars will stay with her forever, even after extensive plastic surgery. One of the worse examples I have heard of is Najaf Sultana, 16. Her father poured kerosene over her when she was fifteen and lit it, while she was sleeping. Her "crime"? She was of the wrong sex as he didn't want any more girls in the family. After the attack Najaf is now blind and abandoned by her parents. She now lives with relatives and has had at least fifteen plastic surgeries.

I really cannot understand the mentality of anyone doing that to another person, especially to another family members. The ultimate and total rape of the sanctuary of the peace that should reign in any home.
