Written by: Khadijah Shah (ROD)

Sara Iffat was a 25 year old girl who lived in Jhang Batar, a village near Rawalpindi. She was an illegal child of a policeman named Wahab-ud-Din. He misused Sara’s mother Asifa like a tissue paper assuring her that he will marry her. Before this he raped two girls with his friend and exploited those girls who were sexually appealing. One day he told Asifa that he is going to marry her on that very day. She was emotionally involved with that corrupt man and trusted him. One day he invited her to his house and told her that he wants her to meet his parents. But when she went there, there was no one present in the house except Wahab and his two friends. He gave her a drink in which wine was mixed. She drank it and started loosing her senses. His friends locked the doors and he tied her hands and legs with rope. He took off her clothes and poured wine all over her body. She tried to stop him but he taped her mouth. His friends started to shoot her video and Wahab started fucking her. She was crying in agony but there was no one to save her. After Wahab used her he offered her body to his friends and they started biting her so bitterly that her body started bleeding. When she came to senses Wahab abused her and started hitting her face. She ran away from there and went to her house but when her family members came to know about her they started despising her and threw her out of the house. She became pregnant and she courageously decided to give birth to the child. She tried case on Wahab but no one was able to do anything. Though he was a corrupt person but he was the man of influence, power and authority who cannot be accused. She then went to a women organization and asked for some help. She started living there but she was so much mentally obsessed that she became insane after giving birth to Sara. When Sara was 14 years old it was detected that her mother was suffering from breast cancer. She tried to arrange money but all her efforts ended in smoke. The only possibility was to sell her body to the male dominated society as men used to watch her lustfully. She decided to leave that place as she could not see her mother in such a dreadful condition. Then onwards she sold her body, by joining a bar, and sent money for her mother’s treatment. But sad to hear that her mother died when she was only 18. Due to this shock she became an Asthmatic patient. There was no way back for her so she stayed there.

One day she was suffering with the tormenting pain of menses and she refused to entertain any man. The manager of the bar was enraged due to her behavior and started beating her. He took her to his farm house and invited two men, filled with lecherousness. She tried to save herself but when she started shouting one of them cut off her tongue and they raped her and then cut her hands and legs and threw her into a river and she got drowned. Next day her dead body was found and due to some evidences the manager was arrested as the truth comes forth sooner or later. The world is dominated by corruption as the manager was released on bail which shows us that there is no end to the sufferings on women. They suffered in the past in the shape of Asifa and in present in the form of Sara. The steps should be taken against such corruption otherwise the future is disastrous.
