A jealous husband is facing life in prison after chopping off his wife's fingers because she began studying for a degree without his permission.
Rafiqul Islam, 30, blindfolded his wife Hawa Akhter, 21, and taped her mouth, telling her he was going to give her a surprise present.
Instead he made her hold out her hand and cut off all five fingers. One of his relatives then threw Ms Akhter's fingers in the dustbin to ensure doctors could not reattach them.



Mr Islam, who is a migrant worker in the United Arab Emirates, had warned his wife there would 'severe consequences' if she did not give up her studies.
'After he came back to Bangladesh, he wanted to have a discussion with me,' Ms Akhter told The Times.
'Suddenly, he blindfolded me and tied my hand. He also taped my mouth saying that he would give me some surprise gifts. But, instead he cut off my fingers.'

Mohammed Saluddin, the Bangladesh police chief said that Mr Islam had confessed after he was arrested in the capital, Dhaka, and will face charges of permanent disfiguration.
Human rights groups are demanding life imprisonment.
'He was enraged. He was jealous because while he only had a grade eight standard education, she was off to college to pursue higher studies,' said Mr Saluddin.
Ms Akhter says she is learning to write with her left hand and is determined to resume her studies. She is now back at her parent's house.
The attack is the latest in a series of acts targeting educated women in the Muslim-majority company.
In June, an unemployed man gouged out the eyes of his wife, an assistant professor at Dhaka University, apparently because he could not stand her pursuing higher studies at a Canadian University.

You can see the heartbreaking betrayal etched on her face. I hope she pursues her studies to their conclusion and makes a fine life for herself without that pile of shit.

This article just proves that male muslims are more likely to be over-controlling, insecure assholes than their loyal female companions who don't deserve this kind of punishment.

Why do that to your wife? That'll just make her slower in the kitchen.

yes i read this and was thinking of posting. Glad you did.
Bangladeshis are very friendly people but you don't see many women on the streets. They have a problem with 'eve teasing' (harassing females on buses etc).
Actually when i was there i went to a concert to Stop Violence against Women. The crowd was 80% young guys. Dont think it made much difference.
These msulims are so repressed sexually
