Zeenat was laid to rest amid tears by her husband Hasan on Thursday. The couple had been married only for a few days. Her own family refused to accept her body.
On Wednesday, Zeenat was set on fire allegedly by her own mother for marrying of her own choice. Parveen, her mother, is in police custody.
Zeenat’s husband Hasan in a statement to the police had said that Zeenat feared for her life after the couple eloped. “I only allowed her to visit her parents after her paternal uncle guaranteed her safety,” he said.
Same treatment should be afforded to this evil Mother and others involved in this.
You are right.
