#2 The accused, Gulfraz alias Billa, cut off the nose of his 24-year old wife, and chopped off her hair

Now what do you plan to do with the rest of your life? Absolutely no control or logic whatsoever. Entirely driven by emotion.

"Actually, this crime is dealt with under the law of retaliation, meaning thereby if someone has cut the nose and hair of someone, he too will be penalised with the same treatment,"

I wonder if he will learn the right thing here.

Cutting off her hair and nose were intended to render her unattractive to other men. Doing the same to a man in that culture would not have the same effect so long ws he could earn a living, which suggeste that other bits that would render him equally unattractive ought to be cut off instead.

#4 Well, my great grandfather got shot to death while hiding under a neighbor lady's house by her husband. But she got to keep her nose.
