Eye For an Eye
A woman was blinded when a man threw acid in her eyes after she rejected his romantic advances. This is her photo.
A court in Iran has given her permission to get revenge on her attacker.
She will be allowed to inject acid into his eyes while he is under aesthetic in a hospital. She will give him twenty drops in each eye.
Here is the link: Link
Should the man have acid injected in his eyes for what he did to the woman?

First?
Edit — That is so unfortunate that she has to endure that… I’m surprised that any form of government would allow revenge like that. I’m not the kind of person that believes revenge truly settles a score, but it isn’t my place to judge.
I think he should have acid injected into his testicles.
Damn, that’s intense. I’d say no… but he definitely deserves punishment.
And here I am a sucker for painfully poking both of my eyes out to embrace my inner pirate when in reality I could’ve had someone put acid in em for me. Why didn’t I know these things before?!?
i think the man should get some help…like go to a mental hospital. I can’t open the link, my browser is being weird = did it say if he’s going to jail/that type of stuff? I think the court should punish him.
I personally don’t believe in an eye for an eye type of stuff
Should he be held accountable for his actions? Yes. Acid seems barbaric though.
HELL YEAH, he deserves it!
They should make this into a movie.
I would’ve been first, but my comment didn’t go through for some reason.
Anyway, what I said was, it seems fair to me. If someone threw acid in my face or my family member’s face and I was given the opportunity to do the same to them, I certainly would.
@raiderjester - THIS. lol
Sure, why not
Whoa, that’s intense.
No.
an eye for an eye makes iran blind! sounds good to me.
Wow. This is terrible.
He deserves it. People learn a lot quicker if they have cruel and unusual punishment done to them.
@Rob_of_the_Sky - Because you didn’t ask. You KNEW we keep a stash of hydrochloric acid at Bloggicus Centricus, but you didn’t ask for the key to the safe!
Also my only gripe with this is that he’s allowed to be under anesthetic. If you’re gonna go for the cruel and unusual thing, you should at least go balls out. Jeez Iran.
I disagree… I mean, what he did was completely awful. But I think he should go to jail for it or something.
I still think an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Besides, what good will it do the woman if she had her revenge? Can she live with the knowledge that she injected acid into someone’s eyes?
She deserves to kill the guy. Tie him down and let her pour acid on each limb until there is nothing left.
Honestly, people like that man…. Don’t deserve the privilege of being alive…. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
Wow… Poor lady I can’t believe how she was left… this is intense but you know what… yea! He’s only loosing eyesight… she lost eyesight and her face ….
@beautifullymindedx - I agree. Revenge is not the way to go. You’ll end up hating yourself in the end…
I would say that her seeking revenge is a lot more morally wounding to him than just going to jail, but I still don’t think she should lash out… I’m surpise the government is allowing her to do this.
@Pysia89 - see cant see, shell end up dropping the acid on his forhead.
No, she should be able to throw acid in his face without an anesthetic. That was intentional on his part, no? He should have to walk around disfigured too. What he did to her was so horrific that it is beyond any rational compensation.
An eye for an eye doesn’t make the whole world blind because I’m not going around intentionally causing pain/injury to others. I think “eye for an eye” should only be allowed in intentional harm. Not accidents. And at the same time I’m glad that’s not the law of America.
She lost so much more than what he is going to lose. She has to go through life deformed and probably won’t find someone to love her because this creep got his feelings hurt.
That’s insane. He was ordered to pay her money, and he went to jail, AND she can inject acid into his eyes? That is overkill and barbaric.
@Gaming_Havoc - sad… but that made me laugh a little… I’m probably a bad person lol
@JeffersonJunior - The money and jail part is fine, but the the acid part is so creepy to me. I think it’s wrong. I know I couldn’t do it. :/
he should be caged in jail with a giant brown bear<3
I don’t think revenge will solve anything… However, that was really screwed up what he did to her. She had to go through that without anesthetic so he should do the same. Let this be a lesson to him and to all the other men (and women) out there that it is NEVER acceptable to punish someone for rejecting their advances.
yep.. if the woman really wants to take revenge. That was intense >.<
EEEEW
Oohh…Fun.
This sounds creepy….I don’t know how I feel about it.
Yikes.
if things were done more like this there would be a huge decline in crime!
That’s so horrible !
I do believe that she should be able to get her revenge.
It reminds me of what Krouchtchev said one day “for one eye both eyes, for one tooth the whole mouth. What a cruel world we live in!
@omgroxie - At first I agreed with the others (“an eye for an eye” etc) but then I thought about the way you put it and yeah… if someone threw acid on a family member’s face I think a lot of people would go batshit and bitter enough to do it back.
@Gaming_Havoc - I feel so bad laughing at this but lmao.
@heyitsjuliet -
This laughs free, next ones a fine.
The punishment does fit the crime, but I’m still not sure what I think of the whole thing…On one hand, he totally deserves it. On the other hand an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
oh my gosh. I don’t think I have the heart to do that to someone.
Wait… why does HE get the anesthetic? Anyway, I’m amazed a court would allow this. But frankly… I’d rather see him physically and lucidly tortured… and then put in jail for the rest of his life. He ruined part of hers… he should get his just desserts. BUT at the same time I marvel at the “humane” way they’re torturing this guy. I’m … flummoxed. It seems like a walking contradiction.
I knew there was a good part to that crazy government. =][= but why does he get the anesthetic :
No, as punishment, the man should donate his eyes to be transplanted into a blind person. That way someone gets the benefit of sight.
muslims are savages….we in america know to turn the other cheek,
Two wrongs never make a right. Revenge, as sweet as it might be, cannot undo or fix any damage that has been done. Will it make her feel a bit better? Maybe but only temporarily. She’s still in that state no matter what. I’d rather have money out of it and probably get plastic surgery or whatever.
I am curious as to why her family has been keeping her acid-destroyed clothes for six years…Wouldn’t that just be a reminder of the bad things that have happened? I say she shouldn’t do it. Karma and shit.
THIS.
IS.
AWESOME.
where the hell are people getting acid from to do this crap?
no way jose
Americans are phony hypocrites. They only care about materials and power. Dan, if I were to do that to your daughter, you would have to forgive me
I expect a hug!
Acid in one eye, yes, but not both.
He needs to financially support her for the rest of his life. Being blinded won’t help him be more productive to society, rather be a burden.
@Pysia89 - Don’t you think prison is just a graduated form of an eye for an eye? I’d almost be comfortable arguing that stealing years of life away from someone is worse than physically disfiguring them. You can get over being hideous. Are you going to get over living your life in a box?
lolol sounds fun
@RulerofMasons - American or not it is probably not the best policy in the world to tell a man the things you would do to his daughter.
Sure, why not. Iran can do what they please. Seems somewhat fair for the dude turning her into Uncle Fester with a wig.
On the plus side… in 5 years she’ll probably accept his sexual advances, so irregardless of the outcome he’ll have THAT going for him.
@striemmy - That is a good point, but you do need SOME sort of punishment in society. I just don’t think that it’s right for HER to do it. I don’t know if that makes sense… I feel like jail is part of a set of rules that society works by. But to go and personally drop acid into his eyes to blind him and disfigure him, that just seems so wrong. And yes, jail is kind of like and eye for an eye, but not quite. It’s not her personally doing it, it’s people who reinforce the law, and I’m not so sure I’d rather be blind than in jail personally.
And if someone did that to me, I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to drop acid into his eyes. Could you?
@Pysia89 - Well, were I of the opposite mindset I doubt we could ever come to a consensus because that reasoning sounds almost spot on for coming to the conclusion that she is exactly the person that should be exacting her revenge, rather than the system.
I think I absolutely could, but of course I couldn’t know that because I’ve never had acid splashed on my face.
It was the time if humans are so absorbed in exercising, such that this admiration biologic became a accepted fat burner which was alleged daidaihua . Not seeing after-effects afterwards a few weeks of actual accelerated plan and dieting can absolutely bandy humans into a abode area they abort to see the point of continuing.
@striemmy - my boy, I am alreaty in hell, at least in prison I would have company. Black people chose to be slaves, and till this day, the white man gives the black man his weed, and his chicken, and like dogs, they get happier than a banana.
Well if they’re going to give him anesthesia it’s not really an eye for an eye. So why bother? Like Ghandi said “an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”.
yes he does, but i wouldnt be able to do that to someone that has done the same to me…..
No, but life sentence.I don’t believe in an eye for an eye, definetely punishment.a kind of punishment to make him impotent for life.
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind – Ghandi.
Ummm, let the punishment fit the crime- and the crime happened after ‘romantic’ advances were made and rejected. Any person whose considers maiming an appropriate response to rejection is obviously narcissitic and dangerous; get a rusty butter knife and castrate the bastard. Then give him a face peel. With pliers.Then the eyes. But slowly; like maybe ants…
No.
I think he should pay for her doctor bills and any surgery she may need.
What difference is it really going to make in the end? She’ll still be blind and disfigured. Nothing will really be solved. Sure the man deserves some kind of harsh punishment but I just don’t see how this really solves anything.
An eye for eye leaves the whole world blind.
Think about that for a second. What does this truly accomplish besides revenge? She’ll still be the same..nothing will change. It’s an empty revenge really and I think for the time being she’ll come to understand that.
@ToastMonster - It doesn’t. It’s just for revenge and revenge does nothing.
Sounds like a really dumb idea to me because now somebody is going to have to look after him for the rest of his life. He should be made to be her slave. It’s really hard to find good slaves these days.
If the woman carries through with this, I won’t feel sorry for her any more. It makes her in my mind, worse than the attacker. The attacker probably did it in a fit of rage, so he may have regretted his actions.
Wanting revenge like this though? That’s just cold. I hope she feels happy after savouring taking someone else’s eyesight away.
Hahahahaha Justice? Or revenge?
yes. he shoulda thought about it before he did it. there are consequences that need to be dealt with when people act stupid.
In Iran, under Sharia law, she can do it. That’s all I’m gonna say.
No, he should PAY for her to come to the USA and stay long enough for all the corrective surgeries, whatever can be done.
All of those people surprised she is being allowed to do: did you notice this is in IRAN? I’m not surprised.
I believe he should. Why should he live his life with both eyes knowing he took hers just because he didn’t get what he wanted? If she’s allowed to and wants to, I’m all for it. This decision is entirely up to her. She may reconsider, she may follow through. It’s not for us to say. This is in IRAN after all
I think it is fair punishment. He knew what he was doing. Should we stop death penalty for murderers here? Honestly, these people KNOW what they are doing. They should blind him so he can’t see like her and cut off his hands so he cannot do it again.
I still find this funny…ahahaha….I’m going to hell…
carefully administered while he haspain killeres and medical attention and is expecting it, clearly it isnt as bad as what he dished out. he deserves worse, but i still wouldnt do it.
This man deserves every last drop
Terrible punishment…
Man I am happy I don’t live there.
@bloggicus_maximus - Yeah I thought the same thing. Not like she was under anything when he threw it on her face.
he certainly deserves the punishment, but, personally i wouldn’t be able to administer it !
An eye for an eye…
I’m not sure how this accomplishes anything. Yeah, it scares other citizens out of violence. But vengeance to that degree isn’t something I understand. At least not to the point of actually making someone else lose their eyesight.
while he’s under aesthetic?…while he’s under beauty?
damn, i’d rather be under anesthesia if someone going to drop acid into my eyes…but then again, i guess to each their own. i’d rather not feel the pain, he’d rather see beauty before he goes blind.
They should hire the judge to deal with the Xanga trolls and cyberbullies.
Look at all the people who commented endorsing Sharia Law.
@BlindSight22 - I see you lost your faith in women….
what he did was horrible, but i don’t think it gives her the right to do something like that.
why sink to his level?
@tymedancer - I was going to say that! That is the most basic one can think of…
Wow, I really don’t know, In a heart beat I would say yea but….
Not only did he make her blind, but he disfigured her face as well.
Does that mean she gets to put him to a weedwhacker too?
I don’t think so. I’m surprised that their government even allowed this kind of torture. But as they say, payback’s a bitch. Still think it’s wrong though. What good will it do to her if she blinded the man? But I don’t have the right to judge, so whatever happens, happens.
Exacting revenge on the man will end up hurting her more in the long run than him. Justice is about balance, revenge is just a selfish emotion…..though no doubt it can be a very difficult one to ignore and not give in to.
I didn’t know they allowed revenge in Persian law? How come there’s no such thing for the western part of the world.
EXODUS
21:24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
21:25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
There ya go. It’s in the bible. Gotta be done
Would she be able to do it though? I cringe at the thought of hurting someone else… I’ve never even been in a fight… he should just go to jail for the rest of his life.
Sadly, we have a serious case like these going around in Malaysia too. A guy/motorists who goes around targeting women and kids, splashig acid onto their faces. The worst part is, he is still out there! These mean heartless creatures should be punished severely!
@Ironstove - agreed. heavier punishment. not equal for that poor lady.
I actually think it’s disgusting that so many people are okay with this as punishment. He obviously has mental issues and needs help, not acid thrown into his eyes.
@laytexduckie - YES! Thank you.
@Esty - does not your country have laws?
um, absolutely not. two wrongs don’t make a right.
@Kiwigummy - I like this idea.
@raiderjester - I agree!
@RulerofMasons - It’s a recent case and the policemen are hunting him down. Hope the criminal gets caught real soon
Wow…I don’t know. I mean if they allowed her to do it immediately after the incident or at least after she recovered, I’d say yeah. How long has it been though since he through it in her eyes? If it’s been years or a significantly long amount of time, then I’d say no.
well damn
I’m kind of on the fence with this
@Esty - you are very pretty. I notice women in Malaysia, pretty
Women from Indonasia good looking too. Do both countries speak same tongue?
So she gets to make another person go blind,..
Will that make her the equal of the man,..who blinded her?
I like it because it gives her an opportunity to forgive which is the road to healing.
Tooth for tooth…eye for eye….yes he deserves it.
This woman had her eyesight and her face taken from her. Also she had to endure unthinkable pain whilst he will be under anaesthetic!! He will have his eyesight taken but compared to what she has endured, this is nothing.
what puzzles me the most about this is… ok she rejected his romantic advances, its not like she left him for his best friend, or she ran over his mother. guys get rejected here all the time, how come ive never heard of something like this happening here?
Consequences for your actions, there’s a novel idea.
This is just horrendous. Poor girl. I am speechless.
I am perfectly fine with this idea. People keep saying that this is revenge, that this won’t help her; it’ll just make another victim. This isn’t Revenge. This is Punishment. Now the next guy that gets rejected and thinks about throwing acid on her, (and there Will be another guy; from what I’ve read, this is a fairly common form of revenge on females), might be scared enough to not hurt her. I do think it’s weird that she’s doing it herself. It would probably be better if a doctor did it. But this is a horrid torturous thing that happened to her. Putting him in jail for a couple of years doesn’t cut it.
I see no problem with her feeling the desire to do so. My problem lies with the courts allowing her to.
He’s getting off easy. She actually had to FEEL the acid, and she didn’t just go blind, her whole face is damaged.
If this were me, I know I’d be totally outraged/upset. I’d be beyond consoling. So I’ll be honest about that. But also, as a Christian, Jesus teaches to love your enemies, pray for those who hurt you, and let him punish, because “‘Vengeance is mine,’ says the LORD, ‘ I will repay’” (Book of Isaiah). But also, I understand the desire for revenge and again, if that were me, I wouldn’t have a smile on my face and pray for him everyday. But if Jesus is indeed God, then he’s right.
I’m on the fence about this one too. An eye for an eye may make the world go blind, but it also makes the world fair.
This poor lady had her face disfigured and one of her eyes irreparably damaged…all done without any mercy. Even with the help of plastic surgery, it won’t fix her face much. She will never be the same again. I doubt she will ever find a man to love her in this state.
Who can heal this kind of damage?
He owes her for the rest of her life. The only reason he is even living would be so that he can repay her back. But there’s no way to gauge compensation unless in monetary form. Even then though, I doubt he has much earning potential.
So while I agree with his punishment, I don’t believe I have the conviction to set out and do the deed.
SUE!! seriously, how’s the other’s pain gonna benefit you in the long run
@aN_amAYzInG_storrII - Exactly, if they’re gonna go that far, they might as well just go all out.
@raiderjester - I agree, 100%.
The guy can’t take No for an answer. I say inject acid into his testicles. Hopefully then he won’t think of asking another woman out, getting rejected, and blinding another.
@tendollar4ways - Please don’t generalize. There are Muslims that are bad people, just like there are Americans that are bad people.
why?
it’s not going to help her, she’s not going to be the way she was before.
and then she’ll have this on her conscience.
i don’t see why this would help.
get him psychiatric help, put him in jail, prevent him from ever doing this again, but don’t do the same to him.
first of all, i may think differently if this were to happen to me. however, i believe the answer should be NO. what the guy deserves is to spend time behind bars and to be responsible financially for any medication or cosmetic related costs that the woman has to endure for the rest of her life. if the man dies before she does, then the family of the man responsible should continue to bear the costs.
I’m trying to think of an excuse as to why he doesn’t deserve it. But honestly, he really does…
I think that’s for her to decide. She’s the one who’s suffering from it. Who are we to say really. :/
she should threw it in his face instead…not just drops and without anesthesia.
Wow.
perfect! make a lesson out of him!
i bet the “correct” answer is no revenge isn’t the answer… but if i were her, i’d do it. hahaha
It was horrible what happened to the women however revenge doesnt solve anything. I dont think she sould put acid into his eyes. That is cruel too…Will putting acid into his eyes make her own eyes grow back?? She will still be the same. No need to make someones life even worse. Eventhough its very hard to do, i’d say forget and forgive.
Hammurabi’s law.
0_0 Ew. Yes, in a way, but no. Why are humans doing this to each other?!
Sure, maybe an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. But if you’re half-blind and the other guy can still see, don’t you feel a little threatened? They have the advantage and they can come after you again. Best to even the playing field.
In any case, I think she SHOULD be offered the opportunity (WITHOUT painkillers) to do it the way he did it to her, but I do not think she should take that opportunity.
Hmmmm this is a tough one being that I’m a little vain haha. On one hand I would want to disfigure him also but on the other hand, would I be able to live with myself or respect myself after taking revenge? But there’s also do unto others…….. yeah tough call.
I think that people who do things like this; things that are just so sick and wrong, should get what they’ve done to someone else, done back to them. Rapists should be castrated, that man in Tenerife should most definitely be decapitated.
However, the Government allowing it is another story. And now that I’ve heard this, I think my aforementioned judgement is … not right. Because then we’re no better than the filthy scumbags that done it in the first place.
What happened to that woman is completely and utterly awful, and I truly believe the man who done it should be punished severely. But I’m sure that she realises if she decides to blind him in the same way he’s blinded her, then she’s just like him. She should rise above it … and then kick him in the groin. Hard. Twice.
