Dishonorable killing continues in India


Ankit Saxena fell in love with Shehzadi.  She loved him.  They were from different faith practises but felt they could work it out.  Her family felt different.  Mr. Saxena was stabbed to death by her father and maternal uncle. Shehzadi mother denied being involved but later admitted her involvement in the murder. She ordered her husband to do it to preserve family honor. This is sad because these are Muslims  who are unaware of what their Holy Book says. See verse below.

"Whoever kills a believer intentionally, their reward will be Hell, to abide therein forever, and the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon them, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for them." (Holy Quran, Chapter 4, Verse 93)

These people are just angry. Unfortunately, they looked at their daughter like a commodity. She would not listen to them. The man in question could not be scared off.  Shehzadi family decided on murder in order to preserve their daughter's chance of a big bridal dowry which the family would keep. Greed won over their faith and the law.

I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
