And she's not Dead?
In several places you can find the story of Hind (no not the Moroccan-Dutch singer). Mahmood’s Den, Virtually Islamic and MuslimWakeUp! are my sources.
No the story of Hind is this one:
Hind el-Hinnawy, a 27 year-old Egyptian costume designer who with one bold gesture scandalized a religiously conservative society wallowing in its own schizoid hypocrisy and had her baby in that ambivalent zone of civil (urfi) marriage, going on to file a paternity suit against the famous, or by now infamous, actor, Ahmed Al-Fishawy.
Mahmood’s Den has the shortest and best summary:
And she’s not dead? Her brother, father, uncle, boy next door didn’t kill her to “purify” her family’s name?
I can’t believe it.. what’s the (Arab) world coming to, when a woman has sex out of wedlock, has an [il]legitimate child and then sues the father for paternity and lives to not only tell the tale but challenges the age-old “honour killing” thing?
Have your own say. Mine is: good on you Hind.
Muslim Wake Up has covered the story very thorough.
