Miniskirt claims an innocent life

A Muslim man living in Russia’s former Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan's second city St. Petersburg paid hitmen $4,000 to kill his 21-year-old daughter, after being incensed by her decision to wear a miniskirt. She was soon kidnapped and shot. The man hired a pair of Azerbaijanis to do the deed for him who kidnapped the girl from the street of the city and shot her twice in the head in the outskirts. Although, both the father and the assassins now face murder charges but the incident has left the citizens in a state of shock. The incident has again put the burning issue of women's rights on the forefront. If we talk of legalities, the girl was well over 21 and did not flaunt any rule of law but was a merely a victim of orthodox traditions that ignore the unfurling of a new era.
