Girl sold in open auction
By: Sikander Khoso | Published: December 13, 2009

JACOBABAD – A 20-year-old girl was auctioned at village Badani Bhutto of Taluka Kashmore in consideration of Rs2,70,000 on Saturday.

Azizan, daughter of late Allah Bux Bhutto, was divorced on the allegation of Karo-kari some time back. She is stated to be mother of two children and was residing with her brother?? who held the open auction for her ‘sale’ at village Badani Bhutto.

A large number of villagers showed interest in the auction that started with Rs50,000 and ended at Rs270,000. Bilawal Bhutto, 50, of the same village purchased her for the said amount. Initially he paid Rs210,000 for the girl.
Maulana Azizullah Bhutto performed their nikah later.

It is irony of the situation that no one condemned the inhuman act. The groom will take the bride to his house after paying the rest of the amount. The auction money was distributed equally among all the brothers of the girl.

It seems your own news papers are doing the propaganda.;)

The act in the news story is condemnable. However, moer condemnabe is the attitude with which you post the article, since we all know that Bharat has it's own share of bride price, girls sold to sexual slavery, and the sale of grooms to the highest dowry bidder.

These are all ills of the illiterate society the British have bequathed us, and to be honest, no one in South Asia comes out as a beacon of freedom in this regard.

Is the attitude really more condemnable than the act!!!!!

I am surprised. What exactly has he done? He has just posted an article from a Pakistani newspaper. He has criticized the act and the people involved, not the country. What exactly is wrong with that?

Compare that to the sick mentality shown here by many that post hyper inflated figures of Indian poverty without knowing the basics of economy and the poverty in their own country, enjoy the plight of the poor, link it to India's efforts in Afghanistan and generally make a mockery of any serious debate.

At this point, it is not necessary to link this issue to comparable happenings in India! Maybe you can compare it to Afghanistan, being a fellow Islamic country that you share much more with. Ideally why compare at all! Just discuss the issue on its own merit.

Wow! What more condemnable attitude did you perceive from my one sentence?? or do you want me not to post such articles at all??. What is your objection??.

Poor illfated girl, sold by her own brothers.
Hope they rot on earth already before burning in hell.
This is why we need education and more power to women.
