So summarize the article, a young woman was blinded by having acid thrown into her face by a man she refused to become involved with. Rather than accept a common practice whereby she would accept a hefty fine rather than harsh punishment, she instead has insisted that the attacker be blinded in the same manner, with acid in his eyes.

The suggestion was accepted, and the attacker's appeal has failed. His sentence will be carried out relatively soon, and he will receive drops of acid in each eye, blinding him.

What do you think about eye for an eye justice and what circumstances, if any, is it an acceptable policy and why?
