A horrifying story out of Afghanistan courtesy of The New York Post… a young woman with three children has been murdered allegedly at the hands of her mother-in-law and husband.  The reason?  The girl’s family believes that she was murdered because she gave birth to three girls despite the fact that her husband and mother-in-law demanded she have a boy!  Imagine that!  Clearly, a lack of education is an issue because it is the man who determines the gender of the child – not the woman.  The mother-in-law is in police custody but he husband is no where to be found.  To read the entire horrid story click here.
