Sounds like a Taliban guy. They want women to be illiterate and use them for their sexual acts tand make more children as long as women are attractive to them.

What a shame another young girl has felt the wrought of a boy who could not take up rejection. I pray the girl survives and goes back to studies and does well in life. As for the boy, he should be put in jail for a good period of time, so the girl can recover and get back to her studies.

Problem is girls are getting educated, the boys are not getting educated, this has led to a sort of boys despising women in general, it’s like anti feminist cult. In west and America it’s getting common, world issues normally come to SL. I think this trend has to be studied, and given a solution. Andrew rate was most probably there representative, it’s a social phenomenon.

Premarital affairs and exmarital affairs are prohibited in Islam because these rela tionships are not built with social support and responsibilities. Mostly irresponsible young girls fall for sexual stimulation thinking it is love. It is dangerous for girls to be involved in affairs before a properly arranged [email protected]

IF there were to be legal extermination of certain offenders, cases like this must be at the forefront. How can you allow a psycho with a Talibanistic mindset allowed to live on even within 4 walls? Until that day dawns, this little dirt should be gaoled till death.
