Two parents allegedly tried to choke their 17-year-old daughter outside her high school in an attempted “honor killing” for refusing an arranged marriage with an older man, according to police.
Ihsan Ali and his wife, Zahraa Ali, were charged with attempted murder for the shocking attack outside Timberline High School in Lacey, Washington, in which the dad also allegedly punched their daughter’s boyfriend in the face, police said.
Their daughter, who was not identified, said that “her father had recently been threatening her with honor killing for refusing an arranged marriage with an older man in another county,” according to charging documents obtained by The Post.
She ran away and sought help from school staff on Oct. 18 — enraging her parents, who showed up and attacked her outside, some of which was caught on camera.
Her dad, Ihsan, choked her “to the point where she had lost consciousness” as other students — including the girl’s boyfriend — desperately tried to pry her away, the documents alleged.
“It’s not right … you are not supposed to do this,” her father told her with his hands around her throat before she blacked out, the girl told police.
Video obtained by Fox 13 Seattle shows Ihsan on top of his daughter and shoving her face in the dirt surrounded by a group of students yelling at him to stop.
The dad also punched the girl’s boyfriend in the face, according to cops.
