Pretty literally in this case.
Iranian woman Ameneh Bahrami was blinded when she had acid thrown over her by a stalker Majid Movahedi after his appraaches were repeatedly rebuffed. She was not dressed provocatively and was a model citizen. Now she is blinded in both eyes with severe facial injuries.
Under sharia law she is allowed to request either blood money to compensate for the crime or call for the same to be done to her attacker. She has called for her attacker to be blinded by the same method and the court has ordered that it go ahead.

So, is she right to call for this punishment?
Do you think it will have any impact on cases like this, given the spate of acid attacks becoming more common, if the consequences were as severe as this?
Would you do the same?
