The father of a 20-year-old woman let her drown in Dubai rather than let lifeguards rescue her.
The father preferred she drown rather than be dishonored by getting touched by male rescuers, reports Emirates 24 News.
Lt. Col. Ahmed Burqibah, deputy director of the Dubai police's search and rescue team, confirmed the incident happened.
The dad had taken his wife and children "to the beach when suddenly, the 20-year-old girl started drowning and screaming for help," Burqibah said.
"Two rescue men were at the beach and they rushed to help the girl. However," said Burqibah, the man "considered that if these men touched his daughter, then this would dishonor her. It cost him the life of his daughter."
Burqibah did not say when the incident took place.
"The father was a strong and tall man. He started pulling and preventing the rescue men and got violent with them. He told them that he prefers his daughter being dead than being touched by a strange man."
The woman drowned and the father was arrested for not allowing rescuers to do their job.
Just sayin, this still doesn't seem like a bad idea for these people..........
Now, that's a reasonable, rational, intelligent post. An ignorant, barbaric father causes the death of his own daughter, and your reaction would be to incinerate tens or even hundreds of millions of innocent men, women, and children.
Yes, it makes perfect sense to me. I can see how that would be a totally logical thing to do under the circumstances.

Lol, you can't fix ignorance, truly.
I actually question the validity of this story. Like those lifeguards would let a father prevent them from doing their job? Like they couldn't have overpowered him? Like others wouldn't have intervened? Mmmm, I doubt this story.

Couldn't believe he wrote that either. Great post.

I thought it was funny. Guess I'm going to hell.
I took the point of that post as geared towards a region that is currently the site of extremism and turmoil, and (from a Western perspective) very backwards thinking. It's not the first time I've heard someone suggest (jokingly or not) we bomb the hell out of the Middle East.

Maybe the international coverage " made " Him getting arrested
I have friends that live in Dubai and some of the things they have told me i can believe that the father would let her drown for his beliefs

This is coming from a region/religion where women are killed for being raped because their honor has been destroyed. I am not surprised at this story in the slightest.
