[QUOTE=Matthew0505;44517252]It's not, but I'll just pretend it's okay like they pretended it was okay for him to keep a child bride.[/QUOTE]
That doesn't make you any better, in fact, quite a bit worse, because while I think child marriage is completely abhorrent, quadruple murder is entirely different ballpark
Forced marriage would be the only way I would find someone to marry me :(
She did what she had to do. Was killing multiple people ideal? No, but I think her reasoning was self-defense. Child brides have a history of being victims of marital rape, and the child has no protection because she is the property of her husband. That along with possible social isolation once she got married leads to the conditions that cause things like this to happen.
Was she completely in the right? No, but I can understand why she would do it, and I wouldn't judge her as a bad person for it. Unfortunately, this may have been her only way out of that situation.

"Three other people also died and 10 were taken to hospital apparently after eating the same food."[/QUOTE]
Considering the food was cooked for her husband, it's a likelihood that it was also cooked for his family as well. It may be normal for them, but they were allowing an injustice to happen by virtue of not stopping it or possibly condoning it and are therefore complicit in it.
The guilty pay the price.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;44517159]Hahaha, aren't you naive.
That's like saying that people who die to war against drugs are actually having impact on the process of legalization. Besides, she's a murderer, I doubt anybody will want to make their icon out of her anyway.[/QUOTE]
You don't think that other girls stuck in forced marriages are going to try and do exactly what this girl has done now that they have an leader to follow?

I think the naiveté here is that you think that this girl has a chance to be hero or something, like do you really think this is the first time ever in history in this region that someone has poisoned someone in these sorts of conditions/circumstances? Did you hear about it? Were they revered as heroes? Did it have an impact? probably not
a leader to follow lol
The only impact this has is that there are four corpses and ten people who are violently sick. Soon, there will probably be at least one more corpse, and more if they find her parents culpable for not raising her "better."
I feel bad for this girl, because I have no doubt that she was traumatized (wouldn't you have to be, to think this was your only option?), but this changes nothing on a broad scale, except to continue to raise global awareness about the abhorrent traditions of child brides and forced marriages. She's one more in a long line of similar cases.

No, since what she has done it's something that has been happening for centuries.

She's not some kind of history bending moment. It just happens from time to time. The system won't budge by a little bit, and she will be forgotten like all these before her.
Why are you all rating this winner? Yeah, she got out of a forced marriage with an older guy, but she also killed 3 innocents and sent 10 to the hospital. She didn't think this through at all.

Because on Facepunch, articles are usually rated by the headline, not by the content

It's kind of like murdering a slaveholder in the Antebellum South and also his entire family and children because fuck them right

Shit this is literally the same line of reasoning used to justify 9/11. "The United States civilians are complicit in the actions of their government."
It's bullshit.
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;44519683]"The United States civilians are complicit in the actions of their government.".[/QUOTE]
They are.
[QUOTE=Riutet;44520196]They are.[/QUOTE]
not really we have a really shit political system that is practically oligarchy.

You also have an armed population that vastly outnumbers the political and financial elite that make up said oligarchy.
