As judiciery is not giving tough punishments in cases of honor as well as in such cases of horrendous belittling of women gender, there is no hope that people will improve their ways of life.

The killer of his own daughter deserves twice the punishment of any other killer.

@ramana, When there is inflight among leadership. Injustice and extremism take roots, the uncertainty cloud a mind of a person. Do you know how many people have mental health issues in the country specifically venerable and weak house wives and girls. Does anyone care. Our country has millions of issue but we have successfully transitioned from Islamophobia Blasphemyphobia. Is that the only issue that concerns the public .

Sad, but such cases happen in every country and there is no need to single out Pakistan. Mentally deranged people live in every society, and yes it is the responsibility of the state to provide support and help to such people. Wish politicians spent a fraction of what they spend on their gatherings for such causes.
