Some Thing are Better Left Unsaid
March 18, 2009: Multan,Pakistan. A Pakistani gang rape victim who won international acclaim as a campaigner for women's rights has married.
Mukhtar Mai wed a policeman who is still married to another woman. He threatened to divorce his first wife if she did not marry him. Ms Mai said she decided to do so to avoid family break-up. Four men raped Ms Mai as punishment after her 12-year-old brother was accused of adultery in 2002, but she fought to have her attackers convicted. She ignored taboos about her ordeal, becoming a champion for women's rights. Six men arrested and sentenced to death in connection with the gang rape are still in custody pending a retrial.
'In Allah's hand'
Ms Mai had said she was not sure she would ever marry, but on Sunday wed police constable Nasir Abbas Gabol in Muzaffargarh district, near Multan in Punjab province. "When you get married, you have to have faith in your partner and his family. I will try to cooperate with them," she told Associated Press. "You know, I never said that I would not marry, I said that these things - relationships - are in the hands of Allah. I said if I got a good man I would get married.
