From the article

In a tangle of bushes and trees outside a remote village in southwest Pakistan, six close male relatives of three teenage girls dug a 4-foot wide by 6-foot deep ditch, on a sweltering night in mid-July, and allegedly buried the girls alive.

The girls' crime: they dared to defy the will of their fathers and the customs of their tribe and choose their own husbands. The mother of one of the girls and the aunt of another were shot and killed while begging for the girls’ lives, according to local media reports.

These people definitely have issues. But it's their country, their customs, and their people. It's none of my business. Far be from me to tell somebody across the world how to live or raise their family. They ain't my people...ain't my tribe.

In no way,shape,form.or fashion do I condone this achaic custom, but they have been doing these killings for centuries. It's sad that they treat females this way.
