Pakistan: Muslims Mutilate Wife's Face
A report from Pakistan's Daily Times describes how a man, with the assistance of his brother, yesterday administered a barbaric torture to his wife, whom he suspected of "cheating". The couple were inhabitants of Gadai in Dera Ghazi Khan district, Punjab Province.
Eisa Khan Khosa married his 18-year old wife Ayesha only a month and a half ago. Khan suspected his new bride was having an affair with her cousin. They argued, and Ayesha went to live at her brother's home. On Saturday, with his brother, Khan visited the house and persuaded Ayesha to come back. She agreed.
On the way back to the family home, Khan and his brother cut off Ayesha's nose and her lips, and abandoned her. Ayesha was taken to the Dera Ghazi Khan district hospital, and her husband and brother-in-law have been arrested.
