I am looking for a picture of a women in afghanistan whose husband
accused her of cheating on him and dug out her eyes and cut off her
nose.

Hi 1234-ga,

I was a little on the wrong track at the start of my search, as what
you described happened in Pakistan (instead of Afghanistan). However,
I managed to find several articles about the "Zahida Perveen" case and
the related "honor killings" cases (acts of murder/mutilation in which
a woman is killed or mutilates for her actual or perceived immoral
behavior):

An extract:

"Zahida Perveen's eyes are empty sockets of unseeing flesh, her
earlobes have been sliced off, and her nose is a gaping, reddened
stump of bone. She is one of thousands of Pakistani women who are
maimed every year by men who believe their wives or daughters have
brought dishonor to the family."

BTW,

I notice you posted your question twice (probably by accident). It
might be wise to mail the Google Answers admins
(answers-support@google.com) to remove the duplicate entry, in order
to avoid paying for the same question twice.

Kind regards,

You can probably find a lot of information at the Amnesty
International website as well.  http://www.amnesty.org/
