Indian girl set ablaze for wearing lipstick - reports

An 11-year-old girl was set on fire by a relative in India's northern city of Jaipur for wearing lipstick and being "inappropriately dressed", media reports said today.

- Child, 11, burnt for lipstick
- Relative said to be responsible
- Burns to 90% of body

The girl suffered burns over 90 per cent of her body. Her chances of survival were bleak, police officers told the NDTV network.

Police arrested her great uncle, who allegedly poured kerosene on the girl and set her ablaze yesterday.

Investigators told the PTI news agency that the 55-year-old man, a conservative Muslim, had told the police he was enraged at the girl wearing lipstick and being "scantily dressed".

Among conservative Muslim communities, women are required to observe hijab, which means wearing clothing that covers the head and the body.

But relatives told news channels the man had tried to molest the girl and had set her on fire when she objected.

Neighbours came to her rescue, one of whom was also injured while trying to put out the flames, police said.

A case of attempted murder was registered against the accused.

Police are continuing investigations.

"...relatives told news channels the man had tried to molest the girl and had set her on fire when she objected."

Wasn't about religion, he is using it as an excuse to cover his own ass.

ropes are cheap.

At least the other relatives stepped up and opened their mouths. I hope that they burn that fucker.

That's fucked up.

Yeah. Pretty fucked.

Nasty.... now someone needs to pour kerosene on his ass and burn it, then after the fires out, give him a taste of his own medicine.

pretty fucked up for sure

That's some fucked up shit right there!

They should chop his balls off........ Then set him on fire.

Horrible... :(

Just nuts! ........................

It's India... what else would you expect?

they are intense people

what a shame.

I hope they punish him.

these people are sick even if you take that each culture is different

India is pretty fucked up.

muslims seem to want to control others actions

Lol at the way people take the word of someone who just set a child on fire over the word of the childs family, simply because it makes teh evil muslims look bad.

He set her on fire because she wouldnt him rape her not because she was wearing lipstick you stupid fuck.

hope she's ok

I totally agree. An eye for an eye, it's in the Qur'an right? Anyone got a match :2 cents:

those ppl r crazy anyway.
