Woman shoots man dead for refusing to marry her in Mianwali

MIANWALI: A woman shot and killed a young man in an area of ​​Mianwali district in Pakistan’s Punjab province after he refused to marry her.

Reports said that the woman was already married and invited the victim to her house saying that she had divorced him.

However, the boy refused to marry her after learning that her divorce case was still pending in court. The woman became enraged at his refusal and opened fire on the boy, killing him on the spot.

Police have registered a case and have started investigating the matter.

According to Islamic law, a woman cannot marry again unless she divorces her first husband and completes the waiting period.

This is an unusual incident of a woman killing a young man after he refused a marriage proposal, as usually the opposite is the case.

In September this year, a 40-year-old female school teacher was allegedly shot dead in front of her father in Buner, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, after she refused his marriage proposal.

The accused opened fire on the teacher and fled the scene. Later, the local police registered a First Information Report (FIR) and started an investigation.
