Afghan woman 'killed for giving birth to girl'

too bad they don't know that scientifically, the husband is the one that should be blamed for having daughters and not sons ;(

The ruddy idiot doesn't realise that it is his x gene that created the girl. He should have killed himself.

It is better to have daughters. I have seemed all these years. Daughters are the one who bring parents to doctors, holidays & dining. If you give birth to daughters nowadays, you should celebrate instead.

it's not about religion. It's about lack of education. Lack of education, squalor and hopelessness are a fatal combination.

It's the male that depicts what sex the baby is, at the time of conception the chromosome the man inserts will tell what the sex of the baby will be.

ignorant man!!! it's not his wife's fault that his sperms that merged with her egg cells carry the X chromosome. hence, he has daughters and not sons! i agree with the comments that this man should be castrated. what if his sperms mainly carry the X chromosome? he will continue in brutally killing future wives!!!

What kind of people are they? They are inhuman. A woman deserves respect & torturing them that will lead to death. He is an idiot person He has No place in this world. He should suffer the consequence He made. He should also be beaten to death so He will know what He did is really wrong.

Bearing a baby girl is better than bearing a beast like her husband !

Ganyan talaga sa Afghanistan. Afghan women and girls treated like slaves, swapped for animals like sheep, opiums, etc. kaya mas maswerte pa rin ang mga babae sa Pinas.

This country must be sick. There's no difference between boys and girls. I know they even practised this in China under the one-child policy where baby girls are killed in preference for boys as China is an agriculture country. Nowadays, women worked side by side in the countryside in China with their male counterparts so the killing is less. Whatever boys can do, girls can also do. so why discriminate? It shows how backward Afghanistan is. The govt there is also equally screwed up. Whatever they did to their wives, police there should also do the same thing to the men who torture their wives - burned, beaten and pulling their nails out, No use putting them in jail as they won't learnt their lesson. That's the only way men will learn.

these idoits are lack of education and inhuman. Women already went thru so hard to bear a child,pass thru painful delivery..yet still kill them just because they give birth to a gal? These men had obviously forgotten where they themselves were born from and deliver thru where? xxx hole from where? From women also right?

So sad RIP... Suddenly i feel the problems we facing in singapore flooding, mrt and etc... are like peanuts....

how cruel this people are, how dare this man killed her wife just for that baby girl, so shocked and feel devastated about this news.Government should move and make an action about the violence againts the women out there, maybe this is the time for them to be civilized.good thing im in Philippines.

I just wanna thank God..nasa Pilipinas ako..:-)

THESE PEOPLE DESERVE BRUTAL DEATH. HOW IGNORANT HE CAN GET!!

That is so inhuman.

minsan masarap ding maging pilipino pero pag mga politiko na ang topic ayoko ng maging pilipino...

Sucks to live Afganistan

if he killed the woman for bearing a female infant then he should also kill God for choosing it to be a female....it's as if he questioned ALLAH's decision....this phenomenon of bearing a female child is out of the wife's hand and he must accept all his children, male or female, as a blessing from God

Stupid and uneducated. It's his bloody sperm that determine the gender. Not the woman.
