Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- A court in Lahore, Pakistan, has ordered that two men have their noses and ears chopped off after the two were convicted of doing the same to a young woman.
The anti-terrorism court also ordered that Ammanat Ali and Sher Mohammed spend life in prison and pay 700,000 rupees ($8,300) in compensation to the victim, Punjab province chief prosecutor Chaudary Mohammed Jahangir said Tuesday.
The sentence was handed down Monday in accordance with Islamic law and the country's anti-terror laws, the prosecutor said.
The two men approached the woman, Fazeelat Bibi, about a month and a half ago, as she was on her way to work, he said. The three all knew each other, and were from the same village.
One of the men wanted to marry her, but she refused, Jahangir said. They mutilated her "to set an example," he said.
The high court must confirm the sentence before it is carried out, and a doctor must determine that they can survive the punishment.
The high court has suspended similar sentences in the past.
