TX - Maarib Al Hishmawi, 16, abused, San Antonio, 30 Jan 2018 *Charges dropped*

[BelMarduk]

She definitely needs serious protection. I'm hoping they are not released and, actually hoping that when they are finished serving their time, they get deported. MOO

They're US citizens. The father was an interpreter in the Iraq war.
Unfortunately, This is all common practice in the Muslim world. The parents probably have broad support in the community and will claim religious discrimination at their trial, just as they tried to blame anti-Muslim bias for Maarib's disappearance in the first place.

They are in US legally but they are not US citizens. They are here on VISAs.

"Officials said the family had been in the United States for two years on visas. The type of visas not immediately known."

Excellent. Then they should definitely be deported if found guilty of these horrible crimes.

Wait, do we just deport them sans punishment and forbid them from returning but knowing they very well may anyway? I'm not familiar with the system.

Her older sister Bekhal gave evidence in the trial, and since then has been living in a witness protection programme.

Latest update

Despite arrests, no trial for parents accused of beating, burning daughter with hot oil

Basically the charges were dropped and the younger kids are back living with them. I hope for her sake Maarib is far far away on the other side of the country.

In many Asian countries including China daughters are considered a financial liability. Meanwhile, conversely in many Muslim countries and cultures daughters are sold off into marriage for tens of thousands of dollars.

I'm certainly glad to be part of Western culture and I'm glad Maarib has joined it. I hope her parents have learned their lesson when it comes to their other children's futures.

So in his teeny mind, murder is acceptable, but rape is worse??? I'm not even going to say what I think about honour killings and his culture. It's murder here - plain and simple.
