The murder of a university student in Jordan ignites the communication sites.. and the father faces charges of murder and torture

The "Rania Al-Abadi" tag has topped social networking sites in Jordan during the past two days, as many expressed their anger after the student's death at the hands of her father, due to her low grades in one of the tests.

According to "Sky News Arabia", Jordanian media reported that Rania, a student at the Salt College for Human Sciences, affiliated with Al-Balqa' Applied University, was killed by her father because of low marks in one of the tests.

Reports related to the incident stated that the victim died as a result of severe beatings from her father, in addition to the participation of her mother and aunt, who used to cover her mouth so as not to scream, as a punishment for her low achievement in university.

According to the Jordanian news website "Roya", the Public Prosecutor of Major Crimes has charged the offender with murder combined with brutal torturing the woman, and he is scheduled to be detained pending the case for 15 days, subject to renewal, at the Correction and Rehabilitation Center.


The website quoted a source close to the investigation as saying that the victim is a university girl in the first year of study, studying at the university at the expense of a scholarship, and on the day of the crime, her father had known that his daughter had received low grades and that his daughter might lose that scholarship.

The pioneers of the communication sites sympathized with the dead woman, as they demanded that the most severe punishment be imposed on the father, who committed a crime for an illogical reason, according to them.

Tweeters in Jordan called on Twitter to intensify the penalties imposed on perpetrators of crimes against women, while others demanded not to drop the victim's personal right to crimes that occur within the family.
