Noura Hussein says her father made her contractually marry her cousin when she was 16, but she refused to accept the union and sought refuge with a relative for three years. She returned to her family home on the outskirts of the capital Khartoum in April this year after her father said the marriage was cancelled, but found that she had been duped and preparations for her wedding ceremony were under way.
Hussein said that she refused to have s#x with her husband after the ceremony, but on the sixth day, he r#ped her as three of his male relatives held her down to restrain her. The following day, he attempted to r#pe her again and as she struggled to stop him, she stabbed him, killing him.
A Sharia court, which follows Islamic religious law, found Hussein guilty of premeditated murder last month and on Thursday
officially sentenced her to death by hanging. Her lawyers have 15 days to appeal.
"Under Sharia law, the husband's family can demand either monetary compensation or death. They chose death and now the death penalty has been handed down," said Badr Eldin Salah, an activist from the Afrika Youth Movement who was in the court. Noura's lawyers say they plan to appeal against the decision, but we also need strong international support from organisations such as the African Union, the United Nations and the European Union to support her."

ReplyDeleteIt's their law and their beliefs. They can't go back from the law they set to enforce religious obedience.This is a way of life for them. May God just have mercy on them and comfort the little girl.
ReplyDeleteNice judgement. Justice must prevail. You did the crime, be brave enough to conquer the gallows.

ReplyDeleteCases like this make people judge Islam wrongly.They ignore the fact that the girl has to give her consent. If she says no,then,it should be No.People don turn the whole Book and all to satisfy selfish interests.
ReplyDeleteAbi oo. There are many loopholes in their actions. They didn't act on her consent. It was forced. That's haram. You cannot/must not rape your wife. You must not have sex in the presence of other people. Killing in self defence is not haram. She was in danger for goodness sake! Who are these louts who commit atrocities in the name of religion?!!
DeleteYou couldn't have said it better.
DeletePoor girl!
What religion will cause in this world ee. I am not a fan of religious people because they are very wicked.
ReplyDeleteNot all
DeleteSay no to child marriage. She didn't have to kill her husband. They have a tradition, she was just immature and perhaps stubborn and will sadly die for it. 2 lives will be lost to barbaric traditions, 2 families mourning. May God help all those involved.
ReplyDeleteSay what? She was in pain and was humiliated, she did what she thought was best to defend herself.
DeleteGod forbid bad thing I will never be a Moslem for any price
