Violent threat: ‘You better be home on time’

Man seeks to register a case against his wife for threatening him with ‘dire consequences’ if he came home late.

LAHORE: An additional district and sessions judge sought the Shahdara SHO’s comments on a petition filed by a man seeking to register a case against his wife for threatening him with ‘dire consequences’ if he came home late.

Muhammad Amanat said he came home late daily due to his work. He said his wife Samina used to tell him off. A few days ago, he said his wife threatened that she would ask her brother to beat him up if he did not stop coming home late.

Amanat said he had approached police but the SHO did not entertain his request for protection. He asked the court to direct the SHO to register a case against his wife.
