A woman who was allegedly tortured, poisoned and then set ablaze by her husband, his second wife, and his brother in the Darkhast Jamal Khan area succumbed to her injuries at Nishtar Hospital, Multan.

According to police and local sources, Zarina Bibi had been married to Muhammad Umar for 15 years in Nawan Janubi. The couple remained childless, after which Umar repeatedly pressured her to allow him a second marriage.

In an attempt to preserve the marriage, Zarina herself arranged Umar’s second marriage with a woman named Zubeda. However, tensions between the two wives quickly escalated.

Before her death, Zarina reportedly stated that Zubeda had pushed Umar to evict her and divorce her. When Zarina refused to accept the divorce and returned home, domestic disputes intensified.
