Foxnews reports finally on "child-to-grown man forced marriage ending in murder of child by parents"

By finally I mean that at least Foxnews, as a main stream media outlet, has finally picked up on one of these stories. If you check out Jihad-Watch, The-religion-of-peace or weasel zippers, you would notice that these kind of stories happen much more often than reported by MSM. These stories are a "non issue" in places like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and other Islamic misogynist places.

FoxNews: Girl Forced to Marry at Nine Murdered After She Sought Annulment
A 17-year-old Pakistani girl forced to marry a 45-year-old when she was only nine was reportedly killed by her parents, according to the Weekend Australian.

The murder has intensified despair among human rights workers in Pakistan over a recent spate of "honor killings," in which two women and three teenage school girls were buried alive in Baluchistan Province because they wanted to marry the men of their choice.

Saira Nusrat Bibi was successfully fighting a legal battle to have her marriage annulled. As she left court in the Punjabi city of Sahiwal, she was surrounded by a group of men reportedly sent by her parents, and shot in front of police, The Australian reported.

The Baluchistan case was worsened by an attempt by a member of the country's national parliament, Senator Israr Ullah Zehri, to defend it, telling colleagues that "these are centuries-old traditions and I will continue to defend them,” The Australian reports.


The story continues on the australian news source fox-news took it from. I don't know if news.com.au is part of Rupert Murdoch's network.
