Hope every thing gona fix soon!
THERE IS A CHANCE…. it was all drama… she was never raped ??? then what
You are living in Pakistan man. She was most likely raped. Don't close your eyes to the reality of Pakistan which almost every pakistani likes to do and live in their own world.
I to agree with
Shahzad. It is indeed only
a metend dia-cum-NGO fraud of the
century. Just read the
detail judgments of the
superior courts. The victim
in this drama, if any, were
the Mastoies, over dozen of
whom remained jailed for
over nine years for
no crime because of this
fraudulent drama.
One shudders at the callous
-ness both of the judicial
system and so called women
rights activists.

Just say it man. This happened in America not in Pakistan. you idiot.
Allah well Know what real Or what is Not real.
This shows only your personal culture idiot. It recalls to me a story I had read in newspaper.
Some dacoits visited the kotha of a pros. They called for money and gold but on being told by the pros that all her valuables are in the bank they asked her to get in. They enjoyed fully whatever ‘valuable’ she had got with her body and went away. Her pimp, like you, who was probably keeping an eye on the entire affair, came in in good time to enquire about the outcome from his baaji. On being told by her that she was maltreated by the visitors, he took out his pistol to pursue the dacoits but after taking a few steps turned back to baaji and said,”Do you want me to kill them or recover the amount due from them?” The pros, your baaji, said,” What is done is done dear. Try now to recover as much amount due from them as you can?”
So pimps, like you, are perhaps not satisfied even after judgment of the highest court of Pakistan and would keep on pursuing the alleged rapists till the cash, especially in dollars, keep flowing in.

Stop telling the stories of your household to the world. By the way which newspaper do you write for?
