Divorce-seeking woman killed by husband in Punjab

A woman who initiated divorce proceedings in court was tragically murdered alongside her partner by her husband in Gujrat on Saturday.

As reported by the police, the victim, Taj Begum, originally from Rajanpur, had been residing in Dhirke following her separation from her spouse.

Authorities have filed a case of double homicide against the woman's husband.

Nevertheless, the police have yet to apprehend the suspect.

Earlier, a man killed his former wife for demanding Haq Mehar in the limits of Quaidabad police station Karachi.

According to police, when Fatima's body was found yesterday, her murder was portrayed as a suicide. However, she did not commit suicide rather was killed by her ex-husband for demanding Haq Mehar (a mandatory gift or token of respect given by the husband to the wife at the time of marriage).

However, the former husband of deceased Fatima, identified as Nauman, has been arrested by the police.

The victim's ex-husband killed the woman by strangulating her with a cloth. The accused also confessed his crime, the police said.
