March for girl set alight after marriage refusal

The family and friends of an 18-year-old girl, doused with petrol and set alight in broad daylight by the man she refused to marry, led a silent march through a Parisian suburb yesterday.

Chahrazad Belayni is currently fighting for her life in intensive care after suffering severe burns on 60 per cent of her body. She is being kept in an artificial coma.

On the morning of Nov 13, the Moroccan teenager was attacked while walking near her home in Neuilly-sur-Marne in the north eastern Seine-Saint-Denis suburb.

She knew her assailant. He was a former workmate of Pakistani origin who was angry about her refusal to marry him. The man and a suspected accomplice are on the run.

"This man asked her to marry him three times. He didn't understand her refusals and wouldn't leave her alone," said Sonia, a classmate. "Chahrazad was a beautiful young girl, very soignée and coquettish. He hurt her more than most by physically damaging her."

What a psycho.

sounds fitting to me.

their families LEFT pakistan - to find a better place to live. And yet they are exactly what they were running away from.

Ironic.

death... Whats sad is French justice where is it???

What does the French justice system have to with this?

Therefore the perpetrator, when caught, will have to deal with the French justice system. Unfortunately, they won't be as hard on him as he was on his victim.

which is what this is.

...and no "justice system" has any business practicing it.

So far, we have a crime committed and a suspect on the run. Where is the fault of French justice in this?

I don't think you read my post - I am not faulting French justice either.

I wasn't necessarily accusing you of advocating torture, but I certainly don't want a justice system setting people on fire.

he will probably get off lightly given the magnitude of his crime due to some misguided notion of "cultural sensitivity". Murder is murder (if the victim doesn't make it)and he should penalized to the full extent of French Law. Even if she does live, her life is destroyed. He should pay for his crime.

...as he was on his victim.

just me, not the French Justice system.

compassionate toward the man who did this than the woman who was his victim. Ugh. :eyes:

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

With an exploding Muslim population, and some, not all, but some muslims calling for autonomy and sharia law, are women's rights to be subjected to the whims of these cretins?

Such stories abound the world over. In the west they are called "fatal attraction" stalking.

It is because some men have a psychopathology that makes them think that "If I can't have her then no one else can have her."
