Two teenage lovers tied their wrists together with a scarf and jumped to their deaths on St Valentine's Day because the girl had been forced to marry a stranger twice her age.
The tragic pair were found at the base of a tall mobile phone tower in the Bangladesh capital of Dhaka in what police described as a heartbreaking end to a romance that was against the wishes of the girl's parents.
Mitu Molla, aged 16, had been secretly meeting her 17-year-old lover, Soud Sheikh, for months.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
