The death penalty for the Indian man who burned the wife to live on the color of the skin star-news.press/wp

This article contains details that some people may find sad.
A court in India gave the death penalty to a man to burn her wife on the color of her skin.
In her remarks before her death, Lakshmi said that her husband Kishnda “routinely mocked her for being dark skin.”
Provincial judge, Rahul Chaudhry, in the northern city of Oedibor, explained the death penalty, saying that the murder fell in the “rare” category and was a “crime against humanity”.
Kishnda BBC’s lawyer told his client was innocent and that they would resume the matter.
Lakshmi was killed eight years ago, and the ruling, which was delivered at the end of the week, was issued by newspaper headlines in a country where a general obsession with compensation is well documented.
The attack on Lakshmi took place on the night of June 24, 2017, according to the BBC court order.
The ruling is quoted from the statements she made before her death to the police, doctors and the executive judge.
Lakshmi said that her husband often called “Kali” or dark skin and is ashamed of the body since their marriage in 2016.
On the night she died, Kishanda brought a plastic bottle with a brown liquid – he said it was a medicine to make her skin more fair.
According to the data, he applied the liquid to her body, and when she complained that she was smelling like acid, she set her fire with a incense stick. When her body began to burn, he poured the rest of the liquid and fled.
Kishnda’s parents and sister took her to the hospital, where she later died.
“It will not only be exaggerated that this brutal crime that launches the heart was not only against Lakshmi, but it is a crime against humanity,” Judge Chaudhry said in his matter.
He said that Kishnda “broke her confidence” and offered “excessive cruelty to throw the remaining liquid” while burning.
“It is a crime that shocks the conscience of humanity, which cannot be imagined even in a healthy and civilized society,” the matter added.
Public Prosecutor Denish Balual described this as “historic” and informed BBC that he hoped to serve as a “lesson for others in society.”
“A young woman was brutally killed in her early twenties. She was the sister of someone, the daughter of someone, and there were people who loved her. If we did not save our daughters, who would he do?” He said.
Mr. Baluol said that he sent the matter to the Supreme Court to confirm the death penalty, but added that the convict had 30 days before the appeal.
Kishnda’s lawyer Surindra Kumar Menaria BBC told Lakshmi’s death and there was no evidence against his client, who was charged.
Udaipur’s court order again put the lights on the unhealthy preference of India for fair skin.
Girls and women with dark skin tones are called humiliating names and face distinction; Skin lightening products make major business, and have received billions of dollars in profits.
In marital columns, the skin tone is always emphasized, and brides are more lighter with skin more than that.
The British Broadcasting Corporation in the past reported suicide incidents by women who mocked their husbands on “dark skin”.
In recent years, activists have stabbed the idea that he has widely controlled that the most fair justice, but they say it is not easy to face deeply established biases.
Until this changes, these discriminatory situations will continue to destroy lives.
