本報告討論在巴基斯坦與印度殺害他人的人員，並提及法院與法律。

Main Body

In Pakistan, many families kill women for 'honor'. In 2025, 470 people died. One woman and her baby died because she chose her own husband. Some laws let killers go free if the family says it is okay. Many people say this is wrong.

在巴基斯坦，許多家庭會為了所謂的「榮譽」而殺害女性。2025年共有470人死亡。一名女性及其嬰兒因她自行選擇丈夫而死亡。部分法律允許只要家屬同意，兇手即可獲釋。許多人認為這是錯誤的。

In India, a court in Delhi found Tahir Hussain guilty. He and four other men killed a government officer in 2020. The police found a video and a knife. In West Bengal, police arrested a leader named Lahek Ali. His party says the police are lying.

在印度，德里的一家法院裁定 Tahir Hussain 有罪。他與另外四名男子在2020年殺害了一名政府官員。警方發現了一段影片和一把刀。在西孟加拉邦，警方逮捕了一位名為 Lahek Ali 的領導人，但他的政黨聲稱警方在撒謊。

Other bad things happened in India. In Gurugram, two engineers died. In Badaun, a man killed his wife. In Jaipur, a man died at a birthday party. Also, people still ask questions about the death of Ajit Singh Sandhu in 1997.

印度還發生了其他不幸事件。在古魯格蘭，兩名工程師死亡。在巴道恩，一名男子殺害了他的妻子。在齋浦爾，一名男子在生日派對上死亡。此外，關於1997年 Ajit Singh Sandhu 的死因，人們仍有疑問。

Conclusion

Women are still in danger. Some courts are now punishing people for killing others.

女性依然身處危險之中。部分法院現在正對殺害他人的人進行懲處。
