A recently married Pakistani woman died after her in-laws forced her to drink acid, for bringing what they considered to be insufficient dowry, police said on Tuesday.
The crime occurred Monday in the Daska area of Punjab province.
Police official Rana Riaz said 25-year-old Takreem Bibi was married on September 4, and her in-laws were angry about her dowry.
“She was taken to hospital, where she died due to internal injuries caused by acid consumption,” he said.
Raiz told newsmen that the police were still trying to track down Bibi’s husband in connection the crime.
The killing of women for lack of dowry is common in Pakistan.
Last week, 26-year-old woman was poisoned to death by her husband in the same region, Daska, for not bringing enough dowry

ReplyDeleteWomen pay dowry? Wonders will never end in this world.
ReplyDeleteA dowry is different from bride price. A dowry are those things a bride takes back to her marital home or husband as gifts while the bride price is the amount of money or properties paid in exchange for the bride by the grooms family. So probaby, the women in question didn't bring back more gifts.
DeleteMy dear you are till wrong. When a man pays dowry to a woman, the woman owns the dowry, she can choose to do whatever she likes with it. I think the issue here has to do with more of poverty related issue not even culture this time around. Though in India women pay dowry not men.
DeleteIndian and Pakistan women not only pay dowry, in some cases you will buy cars, gold even house for the husband. The husband doesn't pay a dime, because they think you are privileged that they are marrying you. In their countries they even do advertisements in newspapers, advertising their daughters qualifications and what she has to pay for dowry.
DeleteThis nama children of Ismeal. una no dey tire for kill kill. why is it easy to kill by this people on this religion.
ReplyDeleteRIP to the woman. No shame at all. na woman dey pay dowry for yeye men and their families
You people just like spewwing rubbish sha, if you will attach religion to the incident jusst because it happens in Pakistan then you are a bigot. For heaven sake does Islam request a woman to pay dowry? Which am sure you don't know the answer. So why that the man is automatically a muslim and then he did solely because of religion. Chai oga o
