Custodial dad of six gets death for rape of teen daughter (Lahore, Pakistan)

As a muslim country where fathers rights are institutionalized (and where mothers and children have no rights), this is what you get. A dad who gets custody of all the kids after he divorces their mother, while the brothers of the "separated" mom are left trying to negotiate on her behalf. Notice that control freak daddy ZIA MAJEED admits that he had been trying to marry off the teen daughter against her will. And that he accuses Mom of wanting to "abduct" her children. This is the abuser daddy mentality, folks. With additional cultural, religious, and legal support.
