Pakistani court orders noses of spurned men to be cut off after they did the same to a young woman| World news | guardian.co.uk
A Pakistani court has ordered the noses and ears of two men be cut off after they did the same to a young woman whose family spurned a marriage proposal from one of them, a prosecutor said today.
The anti-terrorism court in the eastern city of Lahore said it was applying Islamic law.
The prosecutor, Chaudhry Ali Ahmed, said one of the accused, Sher Mohammad, was a cousin of the 19-year-old woman and wanted to marry her. Her parents refused.
Sher Mohammad and a friend, Amanat Mohammad, were accused of kidnapping the woman and cutting off her ears and nose in September this year.
