LONDON (AP)
-- The Pakistani parents of a teenage girl have been found guilty of
murdering a daughter who rebelled against a forced marriage to her
cousin - a conviction that was clinched with the girl's younger sister
testifying that she saw her parents suffocate her older sibling.
Justice
Roderick Evans on Friday sentenced Iftikhar, 52, and Farzana Ahmed, 49,
to life for killing their daughter, Shafilea, in 2003.
The couple -
first cousins from the Pakistani village of Uttam - were ordered to
serve a minimum of 25 years in prison.
"She
was being squeezed between two cultures - the culture and way of life
that she saw around her and wanted to embrace, and the culture and way
of life you wanted to impose on her," Evans said during the sentencing
at the Chester Crown Court in northwest England.
In Britain, more than 25 women have been killed in so-called honor killings in the past decade.
