Saadia’s father, Shafiq, told The Tribune: “My daughter kept crying and begged for mercy, but they did not stop and hit her with the butt of a pistol. The bride, Saadia, claimed her husband and in-laws had physically abused her and threw her out of their house. The couple had only been married for a few months.
I cannot tolerate disrespect toward my parents, no matter who does it," the husband named Shehzad told police. "I was frustrated and angry, so I removed her hair. In yet another similar case, in Faisalabad, Pakistan, a man shaved his wife’s head for allegedly “disrespecting” his parents. He kicked her out of the house with her three children.” Then shaved her head and eyebrows and painted her face black. One witness to the violence stated: “Everyone just stayed silent and looked on. He had threatened to do so several times, so I said I wouldn’t oppose the second marriage.” I was scared that if I refused him permission he would kill me and my children. “How can someone expect me to celebrate such an occasion?. “I was humiliated and beaten, because I was not happy about his second marriage,” the abused spouse named Kalsoom told the Tribune.
In Mumtazabad, Pakistan, a man named Muhammad Akram beat up one of his wives (and shaved her head) for disrespecting his other, newer wife, Masooma, in front of 50 witnesses at a wedding reception.
The Express Tribune reported that a 60-year-old woman named Seema Bibi in the town of Kot Marth in Punjab suffered this indignity for converting to Christianity from Islam by 27 fellow villagers.Īlthough her attackers were arrested by police, Seema and her family soon fled the village in fear for their lives. In Pakistan, women often face the humiliation of having their hair shorn and paraded naked in public for a variety of offenses. Sometimes, the shaving of a woman’s head takes on much more sinister tones. The suspects subsequently were forced to sign a pledge that they would behave themselves in public. In Kuwait, the Arab Times reported, police shaved the heads of nine men to embarrass and humiliate them after they apparently harassed local women at the shopping mall. After forcing the culprit to apologize, the vigilantes shaved half of his head and half of his mustache and made him run around the streets wearing only his underwear.
Only weeks ago, an Indian blogger named Jeshen Josh reported on a young man in a remote village who was beaten by a mob for attempting to steal a lady’s handbag. However, the shaving of heads - either voluntarily as a form of apology or as a punishment by the outside society - has a long and notorious history in many parts of the world, particularly in South Asia. "If it is possible, I wish from the bottom of my heart to stay in the band. "I don't believe just doing this means I can be forgiven for what I did, but the first thing I thought was that I don't want to quit AKB48," she said in the much-watched YouTube video. Minegishi, only 20 years old, was observing a traditional Japanese practice of making amends for violating society’s rules and breaching honor. The group’s management forbids the girls in the group from dating, lest they destroy their fan’s “illusions.” Minami Minegishi, a member of popular all-girl group AKB48, even appeared on a video to offer a tearful apology, begging to be brought back into the band. Japanese and Western media have feasted on the strange report of a Japanese female pop star shaving the hair off her head as an act of contrition after she violated her band’s rules by spending the night with her boyfriend.
