'I've got a surprise for you': Husband blindfolds his wife.... and then chops off her fingers to stop her studying for a degree
17th December 2011
A jealous husband is facing life in prison after chopping off his wife's fingers because she began studying for a degree without his permission.
Rafiqul Islam, 30, blindfolded his wife Hawa Akhter, and taped her mouth, telling her he was going to give her a surprise present.
Instead he made her hold out her hand and cut off all five fingers. One of his relatives then threw Ms Akhter's fingers in the dustbin to ensure doctors could not reattach them.
Mr Islam, who is a migrant worker in the United Arab Emirates, had warned his wife there would 'severe consequences' if she did not give up her studies.
'After he came back to Bangladesh, he wanted to have a discussion with me,' Ms Akhter told The Times.
'Suddenly, he blindfolded me and tied my hand. He also taped my mouth saying that he would give me some surprise gifts. But, instead he cut off my fingers.'
Mohammed Saluddin, the Bangladesh police chief said that Mr Islam had confessed after he was arrested in the capital, Dhaka, and will face charges of permanent disfiguration.
Human rights groups are demanding life imprisonment.
'He was enraged. He was jealous because while he only had a grade eight standard education, she was off to college to pursue higher studies,' said Mr Saluddin.
Ms Akhter says she is learning to write with her left hand and is determined to resume her studies.

Who is that one of Mr Islam's relatives, a man, a woman?
How come they (i.c. Mail) don't mention a name when it is important to mention a name and vice versa? M
Probably just a story off the wire, they print what they've got.

I would have sent you to this post under the FGM tag, because it's not always the males that are responsible for some of these outrages.

The link, like all older Memri TV clips, have been archived and require registration. It only takes a minute if you so wished.
But as you might expect from a Zionist Org. there is a host of stuff on headbanging Muslims.
Some of it quite entertaining in a bizarre sort of way.
