(MENAFN- Tribal News Network) Nowshera: In a harrowing incident, an Afghan husband took the life of his Pakistani wife in their home after she adamantly refused to accompany him to Afghanistan.
Police reports reveal that the 24-year-old victim, Anisa, had been under persistent pressure from her husband and in-laws for a week, coercing her to relocate forcefully to Afghanistan. Anisa, survived by five children, resisted the relocation demands.
The lifeless body of Anisa was transported to Mian Rashid Memorial Hospital by Police and Rescue 1122. Post-mortem procedures were conducted before the remains were handed over to grieving relatives. An official complaint filed by the victim's mother, Maqsooda Begum, has led to the registration of a case against the Afghan son-in-law, Asif, at the Pabi police station.
