Woman will rightfully etch a man's eyes.
Translation from German news site (not my own):
"In Iran a woman has been assaulted with acid by a man who was supposedly in love with her, but was rejected. Her face has been disfigured and her eyesight has been significantly reduced to next-to blindness.
After the trial, the judges have concluded that, according to the Sharia, which is their legal system, the woman is allowed to exact her revenge onto the man by dripping acid into the eyes of him as well ( while he is sedated and in a controlled amount and enviroment ) or send him to jail and have him pay a certain amount of money, which he probably can not afford. Even though the judges urged her not to make use of her right to exact revenge she chose the etching. She doesn't feel that any time in jail or any amount of money can ease the suffering she has undergone as a consequence of the assault. This should also serve as an example for any similar cases, she thinks. According to the judges, the sole judgement has already awed a statistically significant amount of possible perpetrators, that there has been a noticeable decline in this crimesector.
The punishment has not yet been carried out, and is set to be on Saturday the 14th of May. Humanitarian organizations have tried to convince her with money, to forbear putting the man through the same road of pain she has been through, though not successfully thus far."

That is mildly disturbing, in America, that wouldn't happen thank God
Revenge only begets revenge.
I'm with her, you go drop that acid on him real good gurlfran.
Btw I heard its been put off until next week due to no doctor beeing available or some crap like that. So it won't be today.
While I think she is wrong in her decision, her will to revenge is understandable. Though you must note, revenge will get you nowhere, never has never will.

He poured acid on her face and horribly disfigured it, not to mention that he did it because she rejected him. I don't think that's very easy to forgive.
@ChickenOnRice: I did see it. It's just my opinion that I don't think they should have offered it. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind...if we invoked revenge upon everything that irked us or people have wronged us for, what kind of world would this be? =/
That's horrible..however, i don't find it right that the court justifies her issuing the same punishment to him. Two wrongs don't make a right. =S

You remind me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7nBCBocWFM
@SerenadeBass: Nope. I said if you ran the world, it would last for one day. I didn't say it would be peaceful for a day.
now this is how the us should work
[quote=evilslasher]Jail is jail. Rehab is rehab. There's a reason the two words have different meanings. Higher moral ground? That's not having the higher moral ground, that's having a larger ego. And if you have never considered revenge/punishment, you are not human. You aren't. If people like you ran the world, it'd last for one day.[/quote]

[quote=SerenadeBass]No, but being Islamic meant that she was supposed to live a life for God and try to be like God.
Oh yes I do. The fact that you EVER considered revenge/punishment means you're on a lower moral ground than me.
Nothing is unforgivable.
And jail isn't even punishment. It's more of rehabilitation, time to figure out what you did wrong and why you messed up.[/quote]

Haha, does this remind anyone of Shakespeares [i]The Merchant of Venice[/i]?

The fact that you're judging her based on her actions negates any notion of higher moral standing.
I wouldn't pour the acid if I was her.. But honestly, if she wants to, I'd let her.
From what she's been through, let the guy suffer.
[quote=pr3stig3]So as you've said, it's impossible for man. We're NOT God. Meaning that wanting revenge shouldn't be too far-fetched a thought.
No, you don't.[/quote]

[quote=xxclericxx]I agree with the forgiveness lady, he might have just derped and needs to be given a second chance. But of course should still go to jail for a long period of time.[/quote]

I would say thats unforgivable.
[quote=SerenadeBass]Everything is forgivable. Again; whats impossible for man is possible with God.[/quote]

[quote=SerenadeBass]I'm a Christian, I stand on higher moral ground.[/quote]
No, you don't.
I don't agree that she should do that, but I wouldn't try to stop her.
@Watermelown: Very clever. Plus one internets.
[quote=pr3stig3]She went from being quite attractive to scarred for the rest of her life. She didn't do anything to warrant this kind of assault. Honestly, I thought she reacted just fine.[/quote]
i agreed

Don't give us this peace stuff. You can only say this because it didn't happen to you.

Would u forgive me if i pour acid into ur eyes?

And blindness I shall take for we will both be in the darkness.
Seriously though I would do the same thing and etch his eyes out.

Wow, it's going to happen tomorrow, on my birthday.
Now I'm gonna have this thought of a man being tortured while I'm turning 16.
What a thought.

I have no sympathy for that guy. A woman without her looks is like a toothless tiger.
Who carries acid around? Or acid of that strength too be more specific.
[quote=finkle]She looks like a lumpy creepy mannequin. [/quote]
That's after the acid, she holds her before picture.
