Women and children are being murdered behind closed doors in some conservative cultures in Britain... this kind of despicable 'discipline' cannot be allowed: KHADIJA KHAN

Religion and culture can never be used as an excuse for domestic abuse. Ten-year-old Sara Sharif, who had brutal injuries inflicted on her over months and years by her father Urfan Sharif and stepmother Beinash Batool Urfan Sharif, the father of Sara Sharif, repeatedly told the court that he saw himself as a ‘good father’ The suffering of 10-year-old Sara before she died, at her home in Woking, Surrey, defies imagination. Sara was described by teachers as a ‘spirited, bold and fierce’ child In court, former neighbour Chloe Redwin described conversations with Batool and Sharif when she first noticed Sara wearing the hijab that her violent parents had dressed her in to cover her wounds. Sara Sharif’s mother is European, a white Polish woman, and it is evident that Urfan Sharif, her father, had an ingrained misogynistic attitude. Urfan Sharif repeatedly told the court that he saw himself as a ‘good father’.
