LAHORE: An infant was allegedly killed and his body left outside his father's house in Vat Shah, Express News reported on Wednesday.

Haq Nawaz, the father of the infant, claimed that his enraged in-laws killed the seven-day-old boy and fled the scene after leaving his body outside Nawaz’s house.

Nawaz and Humaira (the infant's mother) had married against the wishes of Humaira's family.

Four months after their marriage, Humaira’s family forcefully took her back to their house and a filed an abduction case against Nawaz.

Humaira gave birth to a boy after which Nawaz requested that his in-laws hand over his wife and child to him.

Enraged by Nawaz's request, his in-lawn allegedly killed the infant and threw his body outside their son-in-law's house.

Police have initiated the investigation and will decide on a course of action after the post-mortem report is released.

Furqan | 13 years ago | Reply @anjum irshad: Anjum i think you should read the news carefully this has nothing to do with men being superior than women.I recon ur not a muslim and one the agents of the west who just want to negate Islam in everything that happens.

Basim Ali | 13 years ago | Reply @anjum It's not fair how you're blaming completely legit Islamic laws for what people interpret them as. It's absurd and prejudiced. The people are to blame for what they do, not what they associate themselves with. Otherwise, we should have no problem with people no being able to draw a clear line between the Taliban and the average Muslim.

maryam | 13 years ago | Reply My thoughts are with the infant family! I am sickened by the grandparents to kill an angel who would have bought them many happy moments in their life! We no longer live in the 17th century were ppl killed there children live with the future these children this child that was killed was the future!!

anjum irshad | 13 years ago | Reply this obsession with muslim men of treating their women relations like personal property has brought nothing but misery to our society.when men are told that they are superior to women,that their evidence is worth twice that of women,when they can have 4 wives at a time but women aren't allowed to have 4 husbands,when the muslim men are told that they are 'majazi khudas' for the women then these things will happen,then men will react like this if a woman dares to make her own decisions and think for herself. this was just a pathetic attempt to reinforce the staus quo by reminding the daughter her place in an islamic society.
