Bad Business: ‘Don’t want to take up prostitution’

LAHORE: An additional district and sessions judge on Friday sought comments from the Mustafabad SHO on a petition filed by a woman seeking a case against her husband for trying to force her into prostitution. Petitioner Sajida Bibi told the court that she had married Muhammad Arshad 15 years ago.  She said her husband was a drug addict used to beating her when he did not have money to buy drugs. She said he was now trying to force her into prostitution. She said she had approached police, but the SHO had not taken her complaint seriously.
