WHETHER it wins or not, the Oscar nominee with the greatest impact — saving lives of perhaps thousands of girls — may be one you’ve never heard of.
It stars not Leonardo DiCaprio but a real-life 19-year-old Pakistani woman named Saba Qaiser. Her odyssey began when she fell in love against her family’s wishes and ran off to marry her boyfriend. Hours after the marriage, her father and uncle sweet-talked her into their car and took her to a spot along a riverbank to murder her for her defiance — an “honor killing.”
First they beat Saba, then her uncle held her as her own father pointed a pistol at her head and pulled the trigger. Blood spewed, Saba collapsed and her father and uncle packed her body into a large sack and threw it into the river to sink. They then drove away, thinking they had restored the family’s good name.

Incredibly, Saba was unconscious but alive. She had jerked her head as the gun went off, and the bullet tore through the left side of her face but didn’t kill her. The river water revived her, and she clawed her way out of the sack and crawled onto land. She staggered toward a gasoline station, and someone called for help.
About every 90 minutes, an honor killing unfolds somewhere in the world, usually in a Muslim country. Pakistan alone has more than 1,000 a year, and the killers often go unpunished.
Watching the documentary about Saba, “A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness,” I kept thinking that just as in the 19th century the central moral challenge for the world was slavery, and in the 20th century it was totalitarianism, in this century the foremost moral issue is the abuse and oppression that is the lot of so many women and girls around the world.
I don’t know whether “A Girl in the River” will win an Oscar in its category, short subject documentary, but it is already making a difference. Citing the film, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan has promised to change the country’s laws so as to crack down on honor killings.
Saba’s story underscores how the existing law lets people literally get away with murder when honor is the excuse. After doctors saved Saba’s life — as police officers guarded the door so her father didn’t return to finish the job — she was determined to prosecute her father and uncle.
“They should be shot in public in an open market,” she told the filmmaker, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, “so that such a thing never happens again.”
The police arrested Saba’s father, Maqsood, and the uncle, Muhammad, and their defense was that they did the right thing.
“She took away our honor,” Maqsood said from his jail cell. “If you put one drop of piss in a gallon of milk, the whole thing gets destroyed. That’s what she has done. … So I said, ‘No, I will kill you myself.’”
Maqsood said that after shooting Saba he went home and told his wife, “I have gone and killed your daughter.” He added: “My wife cried. What else could she do? I am her husband. She is just my wife.”

Perpetrators of honor killings often are not prosecuted because Pakistani law allows families of victims to forgive a killing. So a man kills his daughter, the rest of the family forgives him, and he’s off the hook.
Tremendous pressure was applied to Saba by community elders to pardon her father and uncle. In the end, her husband’s older brother — the head of her new family — told her to forgive and move on. “There is no other way,” he said. “We have to live in the same neighborhood.”
Saba complied, and her father and uncle were released from prison. “After this incident, everyone says I am more respected,” her father boasted. “I can proudly say that for generations to come none of my descendants will ever think of doing what Saba did.” The families still live near each other, although the father insists he will not try again to kill Saba.
The way to reduce honor killings is to end the impunity. Saba tried to do her part, and let’s hope Prime Minister Sharif does indeed end the legal system of forgiveness.

“I wanted to start a national discourse about the issue,” says Obaid-Chinoy, the film’s director. “Until we send people to jail and make examples of them, honor killings will continue.”

That is not true,God has nothing to do with that,it was just part of our carelessness and lack of knowledge in handling things like that and it shows once again how we have been dumping living people in the morgue to die,thinking they are dead,we don't check if people are really dead before we send them to the morgue,this is not the first time police did this,I remember there was an accident on Accra/Aflao road when many of the victims were said to have died by the police who parked them like dead animals to Bator hospital only to realized by the medical staff that the people were still alive,this guy was not dead,he was only unconscious but the clueless police and clueless medical staff just put him in the morgue.
We need to have medical professionals in the morgues but not some illiterates who don't have any formal education let alone medical profession working in the morgues,morgues should not be for illiterates.

You asked a very good question and I would like to answer in this way; Clinical death is the absence of breathing and cessation of all blood circulation and breathing which is irreversible. The cessation of blood circulation and breathing are the two major factors that determine a clinical death. Nevertheless, clinically dead person can survive on a respirator. On the other hand, brain stem death occurs four to six minutes after clinical death. The biological death occurs because the heart fails to pump more blood into the brain. This is the period that a physician can proclaim the person to be legally dead since the brain gradually ceases to function. It is irreversible due to the damage caused by the lack of blood into the brain.
Death is determined when the traditional cardiovascular clinical signs are basic and sufficient and should be utilised. This must be ascertained by a qualified physician and the nature of brain death itself. There were some physicians who stated that the mere fact of the cessation of neurological activity in the brain is not sufficient proof for human death unless it cannot be reversed and all cerebral functions are destroyed. There should be a seizure of blood circulation into the brain. All these need medical expert’s detection.
There should be a proof that the death of the cerebral cortex or neocortex signals human death even if other parts are still functioning. Human death should be related to the cessation of functions distinctly human since breathing, heartbeat, and circulation are vegetative process. There is loss of conscious ness that signals the brain death.
This position or definition of death does not constitute human death if the other parts of the body are still functioning. Spontaneous heartbeat and breathing suggests that the person is still alive even if he cannot exercise the other functions.
