Husband sets wife on fire in Pakistan 'honour killing'

[Anees]

MULTAN: A man and his father have been arrested in Pakistan after they set his wife on fire for leaving the house without asking his permission, police has said.

Muhammad Siddique became enraged on learning that his wife, Shabana Bibi, 25, had visited her sister without first asking him if she could go out, her brother Muhammad Azam said.

Siddique and his father then beat Bibi before dousing her with petrol and setting her on fire in Central Pakistan's Muzaffargarh district on Friday, Azam said.

Bibi had been married to Siddique for three years, during which time she had suffered repeated domestic abuse for the couple's inability to have children, Azam said.

Suffering burns to 80 percent of her body, Bibi died of her injuries in hospital on Saturday.

"We have arrested the husband and father-in-law of the deceased woman and charged them for murder and terrorism," district police chief Rai Zameer-ul-Haq told AFP. The charge of "terrorism" is regularly applied in such cases so as to expedite the legal process.

Hundreds of women are murdered by their relatives in Pakistan each year through domestic violence or on the grounds of defending family "honour", say reports.

The Aurat Foundation, a campaign group that works to improve the lives of women in Pakistan's conservative and patriarchal society, says more than 3,000 women have been killed in such attacks since 2008.

This is why education is important. Thankfully, with changing social thought. I believe that incidents such as this will decrease in the coming years.

Pakistan authorities must arrest this terrorists who killed his wife, he should think first and calm to discuss with wife peacefully. It is high successful method than burning whole body.

Uneducated Pakistanis have no common sense, they must be arrested soon if crime is found.

 

[manishmaithani]

So the journalist have attached the nationality in the domestic crime.
Really ch......

This is why education is important.

The criminal politicians and corrupt civil servants are sending their children to study in expensive universities in UK and US by stealing money from government allocated for development and education. What small of money is allocated is stolen by ghost schools and teachers that does not exist and money goes to corrupt people.

In Pakistan due to limited resources, its a dog eat dog world. In no way am I saying what these politicians are doing is right, but to be honest, if most people were put in their positions, they would not do much better. Rather than throwing blame around, we should work progressively to improve the education in our country. Through protests, rallies, informed journalism, lobbies etc.

Huh...another innocent life was sacrificed for the so called 'manly ego'....!

[JonAsad]

The husband should be set on fire as well-
Save him at the last moment with 3rd degree burns- when he recovers burn him again till he dies-

 

[TheNoob]

Note how it says Pakistani man in the title straight away.

Well.
This guy is extreme, he could have gone to arabia if he wanted a wife to stay home 24/7.

Arrest this dumbson and throw him in the pit filled with hungry dogs.
