VEHARI: A 14-year-old girl was killed in Vehari on Wednesday night allegedly by his family for refusing to marry a man they proposed.
Rafias father Mukhtar Hussain and an uncle were arrested by Luddan police on Thursday. The police said Hussain and his brothers former nazim Muhammad Ramzaan and Farasat Hussain killed the girl by giving her electric shocks.
SHO Mirza Asif Baig said that Mukhtar Hussain had admitted to killing his daughter. He said Hussain wanted to marry the girl to his 52-year-old cousin, Saeed Ahmed. Hussain told the police his cousin was married but had no son. He said they had registered a case against Hussain and his brother.
The victims mother, nominally the complainant, told The Express Tribune that she did not want her husband to be jailed. My daughter was a disgrace to the family. We cant tolerate our children disrespecting their elders wishes so we killed her, Mukhtar Mai said, why would I want my husband to be punished? He did the right thing.
