(Pakistan) Parents refuse to bury 'Kari' daughters
-- "The parents of two young women murdered on Friday night on the pretext
of Karo-Kari ('honour' killing) in Moro, Sindh, refused to bury their daughter"

of Khamisa Chandio) and 27-year-old Daadli (daughter of Rahib Chandio), from
the Chandio tribe in Sindh, were disowned by their parents the minute the girls
were declared Kari. This is why the parents did not come to claim their bodies
which were lying at the Edhi centre branch in Moro"
