Wife attempts to commit Suicide in Court to seek Justice against her Husband

On Tuesday, in a bizarre incident, a woman attempted to commit suicide at a District & Sessions Court in Lahore. The woman alleged she had no money to pursue a case against her husband, who had allegedly raped their daughter.  

On July 8, 2021, the suspect was arrested by police in Lahore after the woman had approached the Nishtar Colony police station, accusing him of raping one of their 3 daughters, who had been staying with him during the couple's temporary separation. In total, the couple have 5 children.  

In the police complaint, the woman had said her husband had been raping his fifteen-year-old daughter for a year. He also made several threats, which forced her to remain silent about the ordeal.  

In the latest development in the case, the woman arrived at the Sessions Court for seeking justice & attempted to self-immolate, but was stopped at the right time by people present in the premises of the court. She said she did not have money to bear the expenses of pursuing the case.  

The woman claimed that her husband had been threatening her that he would rape daughters too after serving the jail term.  

Sessions Court Judge Habibullah Amir took notice of the situation & sought a report from the Court's security in-charge Abid Hussain.
