What a tragedy..ignorance is the worst enemy of humanity...what a disgraceful act.
Did you read the damn news? It clearly states that it was disapproved by her family based on ethnic differences( The girl was Punjabi and man was a Pashtun)...a thing which runs through traditions influenced by Hinduism. Islam does not support ethnic divisions so please do not distort the story.
Sorry. But does that mean the purpose for converting to Islam has failed? Another thing I notice is the refusal of Arabs to marry Muslims of Sub continent descent or their state refusal to give them citizenship (obtained after several hardships).
Still lots of centuries after conversion Pakistani Muslims still identify based on caste such as Jats, Rajputs, Mirs and so on. Its same in India as well. Normal Muslims dont usually marry off people to Dalit converts or lower caste Muslims.
Decision to marry or not marry is personal choice.
Decision to grant citizenship or not is a country issue not faith issue
You become muslims becasue you found a reasonable explanation for life / and after life events
Frankly I never heard of any caste in our family I only saw such wording on websites built by Hindu oweners
It might be big thing in India
Would not know a difference between Mir or Khir , or Sawaiyan
"Pathani jokes", must have shaped her mindset......i cant blame her. ""Pathani" jokes are so much popular in Punjab and Sindh that common people there believe it to be a truth. Any mother, believing in stereotypes about Pashtuns, would be upset at her daughter for marrying a Pashtun man. But this much upset?. I am sure the Pashtun man was not expecting his wife to be burnt alive by her own mother.
Nah know of many such couples in Islamabad maybe its more of an issue with less educated peopleThis is rich coming from you. Most pathans would disown their daughters if they married a non Pathan from Punjab or Sindh. You do realize that KP is more backwards and prone to honor killings? People in KP will happily marry their 6 year old daughters to 60 year old men (vani&swara) but marrying a non Pathan man is asking for death.
Shut your mouth. Read the article firstYou are again here to play ethnic victim card irrespective of nature of topic under discussion. Why you read everything after wearing the ethnic glasses? You are acting as if there are not any stereotypes about Punjabi and every pashtun/Afghan mother would welcome her daughter choice of having love marriage with Punjabi boy. Stop giving ethnic colour to every topic
Hey you are right to some extent. Some of the people reverted to Islam but they did not learn Islam fully. This is the result of the blending religion with the local traditions which are against the spirit of the religion. In Islam, one is allowed to be identified with his/her tribe but that is it (so one can use Mir, Khan, Ch with ones name) and it is clearly mentioned in the holy Quran. You cannot consider any caste or tribe to be superior or inferior to the other. All are equal and any Muslim from any tribe can marry a Muslim from another tribe and rather it is encourages. Now if you look at her, this inhuman mother/woman who is disgrace for the word is totally illiterate person. To become a good Muslim one must be educated to a certain level. One must be able to read Quran in Arabic preferrably, or at least the translation in the local language, understand it and implement it, one also needs a reasonable level of knowledge in mathematics so that one can calculate Zakat and Ushr and division of property for inheritance related issues. These are basic requirements if you do not fullfil it, you cannot be a practicing Muslim. So illteracy is a problem and due illiteracy people are away from Islam. Indian subcontinent has a few peculiar things like Muslim women mostly do not go the Mosque and this has nothing to do with Islam.Sorry. But does that mean the purpose for converting to Islam has failed? Another thing I notice is the refusal of Arabs to marry Muslims of Sub continent descent or their state refusal to give them citizenship (obtained after several hardships).

You need to visit places like Abbotabad and Islamabad to see how common interethnic marriages are
Zarvan thank you for sharing all this knowledge. However can you deny all those other sayings that ask for consent of the boy and the girl that are to be married? The ones where it is states that man and woman are ALLOWED to chose there life partners? WE CANNOT!Hazrat Abu Musa R.A says the Prophet (s) said :
"There is no marriagewithoutwali"
[ Sahih Abu Dawud 1836, Abu Dawud 2085, Tirmidhi 1101, Sunan Darimi 2/138, Musnad e Ahmad 4/294, Ibn-e-Majah 1881, Ibn-e- Al Jarud 801, Abu Ya'li 13/195, Ibn-e-Hibban 1243, Daruqutni 218/3, Hakim 2/180, Bayhaqi 108/8 ]
Muhammad pbuh said "There is no marriage except with a wali (guardian)."
Narrated by Abu Dawood (2085) and al-Tirmidhi (1101)
And the Prophet pbuh said: "Any woman who gets married without the permission of her guardian, her marriage is invalid, her marriageis invalid, her marriage is invalid."
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1102),
Narrated AbuMusa: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no marriagewithout the permission of a guardian
Abu Dawood Book 11, Number 2080
Their is no nikah without consent of wali. What girl did was wrong ? But what her mother and her brother did is far far more pathetic and they should face gallows for this.
@Arsalan
Without consent of wali Nikah can't take place yes what mother did was wrong and should face gallows but until state makes law against running away from homes it's impossible to stop these incidentsZarvan thank you for sharing all this knowledge. However can you deny all those other sayings that ask for consent of the boy and the girl that are to be married? The ones where it is states that man and woman are ALLOWED to chose there life partners? WE CANNOT!
The truth is, there are SO many things that are twisted to support ones own thoughts and wishes. For me, Islam clearly allows for the man to choose his wife and for the woman to chose her husband, there is absolutely no restriction on that. Also Islam tells about the respect for the parents with equal stress so yes, it would have been better if the parents/guardian/wali were involved but since it was that girls life, she surely had the priority here. Most importantly, what happened later was nothing remotely related to Islam. Attempts to defend such things are just made with a false sense of love for the religion without realizing that these cause more damage. Islam is a religion of compassion and i challenge everyone to bring me a statement that will justify killing of this kind. THERE IS NONE!
Moreover, remember that the mother also did not burned her for some love for the religion. It was a choice she made out of ignorance.
