New Delhi: Fearing their daughters’ rape even after the death, people in Pakistan are putting padlocks over graves to protect them, reported Daily Times.
An image is going viral on the social media of a grave with padlock over it, which has spread disgust among people. As per local media, the cases of necrophilia, a pathological fascination with dead bodies that often takes the form of a desire to engage with them in sexual activities, are escalating in the country.
Harris Sultan, an ex-Muslim atheist activist and the author of the book “The Curse of God, why I left Islam” blamed hardline Islamist ideology for such depraved acts.
“Pakistan has created such a horny, sexually frustrated society that people are now putting padlocks on the graves of their daughters to prevent them from getting raped. When you link the burqa with rape, it follows you to the grave,” Sultan tweeted on Wednesday.
Rise in Necrophilia
This is being done as a desperate bid to ensure the sanctity of dead bodies in case some randy monsters cherry-pick them to satiate their lust. Considering the rampant rise in necrophilia, one cannot help but understand the urge to protect loved ones, reported Daily Times.

Another Twitter user Sajid Yousaf Shah wrote, “The social environment created by Pakistan has given rise to a sexually charged and repressed society, where some people have resorted to locking their daughter’s graves to protect them from sexual violence. Such a connection between rape and an individual’s clothing only leads to a path filled with grief and despair.”
Women’s bodies were said to have been unearthed and desecrated on several occasions. A necrophilia case was reported in Pakistan in 2011 when a grave keeper named Muhammad Rizwan from North Nazimabad, Karachi was arrested after he confessed to sexually assualt 48 female corpses.
