Shepparton woman Ruqia Haidari allegedly begged her mother to call off her arranged marriage, but her plea was refused. Six weeks after the wedding, she was dead.

Ms Muqadas said Ms Haidari was initially hesitant about the match as she wanted to finish Year 12 before getting married — but she claimed Ms Haidari later changed her mind.

Ms Muqadas claimed Ms Haidari was happy at both the proposal and first nikah, a traditional Afghan ceremony to make a marriage official, held weeks after.But she said before the second nikah, Ms Haidari became distant. Ms Muqadas told the court she urged Ms Muhammad Jan to call off the wedding, but when it was clear it would still go ahead, she helped arrange it.Close school friend Mariyam Khan told the court Ms Haidari did not want to marry Halimi because she thought he was "too old"."But she didn't think there was any point telling her mother how she felt, as she thought her mother wouldn't listen," Ms Khan said.

In her witness statement, Ms Khan said her friend moved to Perth soon after the wedding, and they next saw each other during her own marriage ceremony in Shepparton. "[She] told me she did not feel happy about her engagement to this boy," Ms Haydar-Big said in her witness statement."Ruqia told me that she didn't want another arranged marriage, she wanted to wait until she was at least 27 or 28 years old to get married," the statement said.

Good.

Meanwhile, in Burkina Faso, this happened. abc obviously 'forgot' about it. (they wouldn't 'forget' a white-supremacist attack so quickly would they? No, then it would be first page news for a week, and the anniversary)

What kind of mother says: 'Don't come back to us, we will only take back your dead body'? That's not love. That's submission. islam muslims

I would have deported the bastard. Note the lawyer tried to make the offender out to be a poor poor muslim victim (victim of the Taliban that is). The daughter should have done her own thing, obviously islamophobic (and for good reason).

Is anyone surprised anymore?

Meanwhile, ghislaine maxwell trial isn't covered by mainstream media. Biggest pedophile ring amongst the worlds most powerful people, and not a single word on it. 👍👍

Hardly sensitive & inclusive to put her in trial. Wasn't she merely doing the culturally appropriate thing. Forced marriage, murder, what's the big deal.

Until the religious schools remain open, poor Afghan/muslim girls will live a life of misery, and here is one of the outcomes.there is no supports for them if they want to disobey.

Wrong! So wrong. Get her to be the replacement of her daughter. Marry her to the same man.

Religious nations record worse social indicators (literacy longevity violent crime rate etc) than secular nations. Religions are a hindrance upon society.

Waste of time and money as she will get off

Good. I hope they throw the book at her.

Welcome to multicultural Australia. No need to leave your third world customs at the door.

How about they leave their barbaric practices at the airport and embrace the the clearly superior western morals and way of life

GOOD. Hope she is given a very lengthy prison sentence.

pick the religion. If was Catholic that would be the first word of this story.

Why are so many women attacking and killing children?! When will this crisis be addressed?
