baby in the field

[Shikra]

I just want to comment on the following 2 points, but before I do, let me just say that I agree, a human should not be treated as trash. It was wrong on all levels to throw that baby away in the fields.

than the argument started about getting abortion. and i found that most desi people, especially in villages do not see it as wrong if done in first three months. they have a view that in first three months there is no ‘Jaan’ so its ok do get abortion done.
But i thought it was haram to get abortion done at any stage other than for medical reasons.

This can be a very lengthy discussion, but the short answer is that a fetus can be aborted if there’s no “rooh” in it.

I have seen/heard about honour killings; and normally in punjab girls are killed for having affairs or running away and man is not even touched. why?

I have heard of a few instances where couples ran away. The girls were not killed but the boy was beaten the crap out of. So saying “man is not even touched” would be incorrect, there are always exceptions.
