Yes its the same. They both lived in D-silva town in North Nazimabad. I used to live very close to it. It sparked so much anger that it was very close to mohajir-pathan riots. The couple was quitely moved abroad courtesy of MQM fellas who managed this entire thing without any public statements, opposite to what they normally do. Pathans on the other side were very vocal
Its the strange psyche that normally when you are a victim, you try to raise your voice loudly, but in case a girl run away from a family, people in girl's family normally try to avoid discussing it on the context 'badnami hogi'. Though there are statements like 'laRki bhi hamari gai, aur ooper se....'.
haven’t you seen reaction of Balochs in drama Dasht when @hybridkamal’s Ateeqa (Shah Taj) run away with Noman Ejaz (Balach) :shikari: I think in tribal set-ups, this is more dangerous.
Why not also asking “what if a Pathan guy falls in love with Mohajir girl ?”
And what are limits and bounds of “Ishq and love”? from what i have observed it also involves physical love which brings lot of shame to the parents. In Islam you are not even allowed to talk and see namharram. So your question should be “Will a pashtun family accepts rihsta from mohajir family and vice versa?”. The answer of which itself is not definite and depend upon numerous factors.
The parents claimed that their daughter was abducted by that mohajir guy, when authorites didnt take notice of it, afridi jirga got involved, it even led to small scale mohajir-pashtun riots…
I think it reached to such level because for a quite a time , it actually seemed as if the girl is really abducted, larki ka kuch ata pata nahi chal raha ta. Later she appeared in the court and gave statement that she ran away from home on her own will and was not abducted, which silenced her parents and afridis. Obviously she ran away from home without informing her family and i am sure her parents had not even a single clue that uska kisi key saath chakar chal raha ta. Her life could have been in danger in home, if her family had smelled some thing fishy.
With advent of mobiles, i am hearing a lot about such cases. killing the daughter wont erase the stain on family, so why killing her?. Tarbiat sahi karo aur dimagh farigh nahi hona chahiye unka. Moreover we keep eyes on girls but not on boys, that has messed up our societies in pakistan.
