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 to 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
