Her family only realized what had happened to her when she complained of pain and they took her to see the doctor

X-rays showed one- to two-inch nails in her hands and legs, with one over her eyes, officials said.
I hope if I ever come home with a nail hammered into my forehead that my family notices before I mention I have a headache

If you were covered 24hrs a day in a bed sheet it might be hard to tell.

This seems like a slight overreaction. Couldnt they have just bought her a Roomba or something?

Do we even know if the Sri Lanken woman is Muslim? My semi-funny/semi-racist comment doesn't really work if she doesn't wear the full body/facial hijab.

She could be Muslim, though I think majority are Hindu. But perhaps she has to wear the sheet to work in SA regardless?

I much prefer the Western version of "hey honey, let's go nail the maid together".

and this from the article I missed...

Ariyawathi has been taken to hospital for surgery to remove the nails, which according to the maid were hammered in when they were hot.

so why did they have to heat the nails up before hammering them into her head? Do the nails hammer in easier if hot?
Will these people have nails hammered into their skulls based on Sharia Law?

It is - it's 15th century over there. If you'd like to visit the 12th century, please head to Afghanistan...

Easier to nail, and prevents infections. They don't want the maid to get sick, if she does she can't work.

Maybe they were going to hang a picture of some sort, on the nail in her forehead.

It's all fun and games until you hammer your thumb. That hurts like a sonofabitch.

No kidding. That reminds me I read an article this morning in the Metro about an all girls school in Afghanistan being gassed. The theory is that the Taliban wants to discourage them from becoming educated and going to school.

Should just send the cast of the expendables over there to clean them out.

All hammers should be registered. Registering hammers would prevent crimes like this and make the world a safer place.

Isn't that pretty much what we did do?

Give it a week and they'll be at least two fetish videos titled Nailing the Maid on the porn market.
