HYDERABAD: A rickshaw driver allegedly killed his wife, 28-year-old Shumaila, over a domestic dispute in Chishtia Colony on Sunday.

According to Pinyari police, Iqbal Kabari, asked his wife to hand a gold jewellery set over to him but Shumaila, a mother of four children, refused, arguing that he would sell it in order to buy liquor. Enraged, Kabari allegedly beat her to death.

The family told the police that the suspect, who has been arrested, often beat his wife. No FIR has been registered as yet.

Pakistan already suffers from a self-inflicted image problem. Its not a them versus us issue. Its a justice issue. Statistics suggest that less than 1% of those committing domestic/family violence are held accountable in Pakistan (search the tribune website). What does that say about a society. The NGOs cannot make a difference where there the culture, law & people condone such behavior. It has to be a change from within.

sarah tj | 9 years ago | Reply @Feroz Merchant: don't worry about other countries this is happening almost every where. in our country women are beaten by their husbands and in western countries they are beaten by their boy friends.I am not giving a justification for the act though at this time all those NGOS which call themselves representatives of women rights should come forward and raise their voice for poor victim and the criminal should be executed publicly.
