A woman received burn wounds when husband threw acid at her after exchange of hot words over domestic issues here on Monday.
According to police, Shama, mother of four children residing in Bararan Pul area of Multan was doing job in a franchise of mobile phone company while her husband Maqsood is clerk in Kutchery.
On Monday morning the couple quarrelled when the house wife demanded money for meeting the domestic needs after which Maqsood poured acid at his wife and fled the scene. Shama, burnt and injured in the acid attack reached Nishtar Hospital where she was admitted in emergency ward.
The doctors said that Shama’s face remained safe in the attack however she suffered serious burn wounds.
The police registered a case into the incident and started search for the accused.
It should be mentioned that acid attacks on women have become common in Southern Punjab and masses have expressed grave concern over the situation. They have also criticized the role of law enforcement authorities and organizations working for the welfare of women over their failure to bring an end to acid attacks.
How quickly men are blamed for such acts of violence. No one knows for certain that there perpetrator was actually a man. Domestic problems arise when women cannot get along with each other. The old rivalry of the wife not getting along with the mother and sisters of her husband is an established fact. They find ways to settle the score and acid throwing is just one of the many ways of doing it.
Domestic problems arise when an angry and hot tempered husband threw acid on his wife he vowed to love and protect. No matter what caused him to become angry, it is NEVER ok to hurt others. That is the established fact. You missed the whole point.
