The bride, Muafia Bibi, was only 17 years old, was killed by his father and grandfather. The two bodies showed signs of severe torture with multiple traumas and injuries to the head.

According to the village residents, the parents and the relatives of the woman showed initial support for the couple. When they reached the town, they were drugged by the woman’s family. A witness said the torturers tied their arms and legs, and had their mouths gagged with clothes.

The witness added that the children of their family watch what happens to children who partake in unpermitted weddings. He then shouted he will kill his daughter and her husband.
