Over here a jail sentence would be imposed and the guy would be released after serving a third of his sentence, to me that would be so unjust while that poor girl is trapped by blindness till her death. That's a sick person to have committed this kind of act so unless imprisonned for life I think he would do it again. Maybe being blinded will curtail him from repeating?

Besides being a punishment for the crime he commited against her, this
just might deter other men from doing the same thing to other women.

Women have very few rights at all in muslim countries & I'm glad she did
get justice in this case. Anybody remember the acid attacks on young
muslim girls on their way to classes ?
