London, Feb.1 (ANI): A Muslim teenager was kidnapped and beaten by her own siblings after they caught her kissing a white man, a court heard today.
Shamima Akhtar, 18, was allegedly bundled into a car and taken home before being beaten by her two older sisters, Nadiya, 25, and Nazira, 29, and brother Kayum Mohammed-Abdul, 24.
According to the Daily Mail, the Winchester Crown Court heard they called Shamima 'a whore and a prostitute and then cut her waist-length hair up to her neck after they saw her kissing a white man, Gary Pain, in the car park of a restaurant in Basingstoke, Hampshire, on April 1 last year.
Prosecutor Peter Ateris said an 'extremely aggressive and threatening' Mohammed-Abdul assaulted Pain while Shamima was 'firmly escorted' to the car by their two sisters.
The jury heard the Shamima came from a strict Islamic family and was controlled by her siblings, but she considered herself Westernised.
"This is about honour-based domestic violence. Shamima is the sister of the three defendants. Her family has very strong and traditional Islamic beliefs and they live their lives as a family in accordance with those beliefs," he said. (ANI)
