Pak woman, 20, shamefully auctioned in public for 2,70,000 rupees | In a shameful and bizarre incident, a 20 year old girl was sold in an open auction for 2,70,000 rupees in Badani Bhutto village here. According to
reports, the girl named, Azizan, was sold off by her brothers in an open auction
where a 50-year old man, Bilawal Bhutto, emerged as the highest bidder and bought
the girl. The girl is said to have been abandoned by her husband, and was living
with her brothers along with her two children. Later, Azizan was married to Bilawal,
who initially paid 2,10,000 rupees as token money. The groom will take the bride
to his house only after paying the rest of the amount. The total auction money
would be equally distributed among all the brothers of the girl, The Daily Times
reported. A large number of people had gathered for the auction, but no one objected
to the shocking act, as everybody appeared to be interested in purchasing the
helpless girl. It is ironical that in a country where a women was elected as the
Prime Minister on two occasions (Benazir Bhutto, 1988-90 and 1993-96), girls are
still being treated as mere objects, despite successive governments claiming to
have done much to empower the weaker sex in the country. |
