Refugee jailed for strangling ‘too Australian’ wife
KATE HAGAN
April 8, 2010
“A man who killed his wife by using her veil to strangle her in their Melbourne home did so in the belief he was entitled to dominate her, a Supreme Court judge has found. Soltan Azizi was today sentenced to 22 years’ jail by Justice Betty King, who said the Afghani refugee had been physically abusive towards Marzieh Rahimi throughout their 14-year marriage. Justice King said Ms Rahimi had sought help from social workers and was intending to leave Azizi, despite him warning that he would kill her if she tried. She said Azizi had complained to Ms Rahimi’s sister in the days prior to her killing that his wife was becoming “too Australian”, meaning “she was not a docile and good wife in the terms you expected her to be”.
“It is clear you were unable to accept that your wife had rights, which rights included the ability to leave you if that was what she desired,” Justice King said. “… Her death clearly resulted because of your belief that you were entitled to dominate and dictate to your wife what she could and could not do.”
The couple, who had five children now aged from 14 to 2, came to Australia in 2005 after fleeing Afghanistan and spending seven years in refugee camps in Iran. Azizi will serve a minimum of 17 years and six months before he is eligible for parole.”

This article is very misleading. Anyone can experience domestic violence regardless of race, ethnic, or religious believes. also, islam does not allow violence against women, children and innocent people…
I don’t know who the article would mislead. You and I know that Islam does not allow one to convert to other religions and that religious tolerance is not allowed in any Muslim country. I appreciate that YOU are willing to speak out against honor killings. However, why are the other millions silent on Islam’s inhuman behavior. Once we see a change in behavior and an outcry against honor murders, we will believe they mean what they say.
There is nothing misleading about the article. If Islam does not practice domestic cruelty, please explain the “mercy killings” and why are others silent about them. Do they agree, or are they fearful to speak up? Also, your use of the word “innocent” is misleading. Please explain what it means to be innocent under Islam.
better for us to know Islam better. and not to judge on isalm just through the words that we hear.Islam supports “wisdom”. it is stated in Islamic views that”what wisdom says is what religion says , and what religion says is what wisdome says.”
