Woman Slits Husband´s Throat
For Making Her Eat Pork
A devout Muslim woman told police she slashed her husband’s neck with a kitchen knife as he slept because he forced her to eat pork, wear short skirts and drink alcohol in violation of her religious beliefs. Rabia Sarwar, 37, pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and was freed on $25,000 bail. She told police in a written statement that she was emotionally abused by her husband, Sheikh Naseem.
“He made me do so many things that are against Islam,” she wrote in a statement to police. “I did all that just to make him happy but inside me there was a war,” she continued.
Naseem suffered cuts to his neck, cheek and hand early Wednesday before fighting Sarwar off and dialing 911 from his Staten Island home, authorities said.
“I did my best to cut his throat,” Rabia Sarwar wrote. “But the next moment he jumped on me and grabbed me.”
