Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time wasted in disapproving of others.

A jealous lover who blinded a woman with acid is also to be blinded with acid under the country’s Islamic law.

A 27-year-old named only as Majid confessed to attacking Amenah Bahrami in 2004 to dissuade anyone from marrying the woman he loved.

Wednesday’s ruling was issued based on the Islamic law system of ‘qisas,’ or eye for an eye retribution.  The reports say Ameneh asked the court to sentence Majid, who was only identified by his first name, to be blinded by acid to prevent similar attacks on other women.

Majid is allowed to appeal the verdict.
