Peer Khairi

Unmarried Daughter Dept: Maybe there s an Afghan father somewhere on the planet who would accept, however grudgingly, if his unmarried daughter slept overnight at the home of her fiance nearly every weekend, according to The Star. But maybe this is that rare creature of remarkable tolerance, Peer Khairi, on trial in Toronto, charged with the brutal second-degree murder of his wife, the poor woman s head nearly decapitated, so deep were the knife plunges inflicted and maybe there s an Afghan father somewhere on the planet who would forgive his unmarried daughter for staying out until two or three a.m. I ve never met or heard of such a permissive individual, whether in Canada or Afghanistan. In that country, only girls banished from their own homes for disgracing the family, say are occasionally taken in by the prospective in-laws, though expulsion by her parents would reflect poorly on them in a society where the appearance of things is paramount.
