When I watched this news report two days ago, it brought tears to my eyes. Sahar Gul is a 15 year old Afghan girl who was married off to a man who tried to force her to become a prostitute. When she refused, he and his family burned her, pulled out her hair, cut off her skin, and beat and starved her. Thanks be to God, the police rescued her.
I don't know if I can find adequate words to express revulsion and outrage that would even come close to describe this. What kind of a human being with even a shred of decency could even contemplate doing this to not only an innocent teenager but also his wife, or daughter in law for that matter.
Jesus treated women with love and respect, and God through Paul said that a man is the head of the household like Christ is the head of the church. Jesus provided for His apostles, talked with them, and died and rose again for them. A man who beats on his wife is a disgusting coward and is not following God. There are some so-called Christians who treat their wives with disgusting brutality and contempt... these creeps have no idea who Jesus is and they profane His holy name by claiming they follow Him. When they face Him on the Day of Judgement, if they had not repented they will find no mercy.
I have no idea what religion the husband and his family subscribe to, but any man from any religion- Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism... any religion or faith or no faith- who treats women this way, his behaviour is less than that of scum. I hope these people repent and find Christ. I don't wish the death penalty on them because I do not believe in it, but they should never leave prison or have contact with another innocent child ever again.
