Pakistani parents in a remote village allegedly killed their 15-year-old daughter by pouring acid all over her face and body after they caught her talking to an unknown boy, according to local police and hospital officials.

The incident happened in Kotli, a small town in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The parents allegedly confessed to the attack after she spoke with a boy outside their house.

According to local police, the girl's father, Mohammed Zafar, became enraged when he found his teenage daughter, Anvu Shah, with the boy outside their home.

In many rural areas of Pakistan, deeply conservative social traditions forbid girls to speak or be seen with boys who are not related by blood.

"Zafar beat her up and then poured acid over her with the help of his wife," Tahir Ayub, a police officer, told Agence France Presse.

"She was badly burnt, but they did not take her to hospital until the next morning, and she died on Wednesday," he said.

Local media reports, citing hospital officials, say her death was slow and excruciatingly painful. The girl was brought to hospital with third degree burns all over her body, including her face, arms, and chest. Police were reportedly alerted to the attack by one of Shah's female relatives.

Her parents have now been charged with murder.

Is this about politics or religion? I don't see either mentioned.

See the "Report Button" ? That's what it's for. btw this is predominant with Muslim's in Pakistan, afghanistan, and Bangladesh. There's where the religion comes in. Thank you for taking your time to post on here. I can feel your concern.

I didn't realize she was on these boards.

I also didn't realize that suggesting a topic be moved meant that I lacked concern about the subject.

VJ teaches me so many things. Thank you.

I understand your reason behind posting this may be to open a dialogue about this sort of thing.. but I don't see your own commentary on the OP. Care to share your opinion so that others may weigh in? It's hard to respond to a news story when we don't know the purpose of your posting. Are you for what happened? Are you against it? Do you propose we storm over there? Are you commenting on that country? Are you commenting on her parents undisclosed religion? Are you commenting on womens rights (or lack thereof)?... there are many ways to take this topic.

So far it's just a news story. Nothing religious or political about it unless you mention your purpose for the post of a news article.

I assume their point is it's a posted news story with not political or religious mention by the OP. Therefore it should be moved to "Off Topic". If the OP opens a dialogue about either Politics or Religion based on the OP then it may belong here. Same reason other posts get moved... for being in the wrong spot.

Then don't post on this thread. In fact I'm not sure why you, or two other posters that posted right below the OP actually took the time to post on this topic if they have nothing to add.

Ok cool. Next time Steven goes on one of his windmill, solar power, or electric car rants in P&R, I'll be sure to report it.

So yet again you are stereotyping. Assuming that as someone in a predominately Muslim country does a bad thing it must be about their religion? I understand now. Maybe it should be moved back to P&R.

Maybe you should find someone else to troll. You have added zero to this thread.

So now anyone who dares to disagree with you must be a troll?
