Aqsa Parvez. When you unscramble her name it spells out = as Q&A. EZ rap v.
This tells me she was a very easy going person who loved to talk and others were drawn to her. The V stands for victorious because she won people over because of her good nature.
However her father and brother did not see it that way. They thought she was 'too forward' and unbecoming to their culture and the family name was besmirched. That is truly sad because she did not deserve to die just because she was nice and friendly.
Family dynamics are so crucial and when there is extreme 'cultural and familial pressures' that actually create a dangerous situation, there has to be someone who can mediate a better outcome. Where were the leaders of their sect, church or family that could have saved this young girl's life.
The father did not even realize what a wonderful daughter he had, but they will miss her everyday from this point forward. Truly sad.
