In June 2002, journalists throughout the world began to hear of the gang rape of a Pakistani woman from the impoverished village of Meerwala. The rape was ordered by a local clan known as the Mastoi and was arranged as punishment for indiscretions allegedly committed by the woman's brother. While certainly not the first account of a female body being negotiated for honor in a family, and (sadly) not the last, journalists and activists were captivated. This time the survivor had chosen to fight back, and in doing so, single-handedly changed the feminist movement in Pakistan. Her name was Mukhtar Mai, and her decision to stand up to her accusers was an act of bravery unheard of in one of the world's most adverse climates for women. By July 2002, Mai's case was headline news in Pakistan and under international scrutiny, the government awarded her the equivalent of 8,500 U.S. dollars in compensation money (a historic settlement), and her attackers were sentenced to death. Mukhtar Mai went on to open a school for girls in an effort to ensure that future generations would not suffer, as she had, from illiteracy. In this rousing account, Mai describes her experience and how she has since become an agent for change and a beacon of hope for oppressed women around the world. Timely and topical, "In the Name of Honor" is the remarkable and inspirational memoir of a woman who fought and triumphed against exceptional odds.

Considered for the TIME's 100 world's most influential people. A chilling testimony to the deepest levels of human cruelty, this is the testimony of Mukhtar Mai, a 28-year old Pakistani woman. In 2002 she was sentenced by Meerwala's tribal counsel to endure a collective rape in redress for an action committed by her 13-year old brother -when in reality it was a show of power. After suffering nameless atrocities, Mai decides to forego the tradition of committing suicide to denounce the crime. Description in Spanish: Este libro es el estremecedor testimonio de Mukhtar Mai, una mujer paquistaní de 28 años que en 2002 fue condenada por un consejo tribal del poblado de Meerwala a una violación colectiva en reparación de lo que consideraban una ofensa cometida por su hermano de trece años, al dirigirle la palabra a una joven de otro clan sin autorización. Con el fin de intentar llegar a un acuerdo con los ofendidos , el clan de los Mastoi, de una casta superior, y por considerarla el miembro más respetable de la familia, Mukhtar es escogida por su padre para pedir perdón en público y solicitar que liberen a su hermano a quien mantenían secuestrado, golpeado, vejado, después de la supuesta falta. Sin embargo, el jefe Mastoi ya había tomado su decisión y ordena a cuatro de sus miembros a castigarla. A partir de ese momento, la vida de Mukhtar Mai da un giro absoluto. Después de las atrocidades que sufrió, renuncia al suicidio, camino marcado por la tradición y que ha sido elegido por muchas mujeres, y escoge la denuncia. Con el apoyo de organismos de derechos humanos y múltiples voces que denunciaron y difundieron su caso en los medios internacionales, Mukhtar logra encarcelar a sus agresores. Sin embargo, detrás de la afrenta que cometió el hermano menor de Mukhtar se distingue la verdadera razón del castigo: los conflictos de carácter territorial entre los dos clanes que habitan Meerwala: los Mastoi, de casta superior y los Gujjar, de casta inferior, a la cual pertenece la familia de Mukhtar. Por esta razón, lo acontecido a Mukhtar no es sólo una agresión a una mujer que no tiene voz en la sociedad paquistaní; también es una agresión a los habitantes de este poblado, quienes se enfrentan la mayoría de las veces a la corrupción de las autoridades locales y terminan por acatar los dictados de los más poderosos.
