Photos: Meet Pakistani mother who burnt 16 year old daughter alive for eloping

A Pakistani mother who burned her teenage
daughter alive as punishment for eloping to marry
her boyfriend proudly shouted about her murder in
the street afterwards.
Parveen Rafiq, tied her daughter Zeenat, 18, to a
cot, doused her in kerosene and set her alight in
the family home in Lahore, eastern Pakistan.
Mrs Rafiq then went outside and began shouting
on the street to neighbours that she had killed the
teen for bringing shame on her family, while
beating her chest. Zeenat's 'crime' was getting
married to her partner Hasan Khan, a motorcycle
mechanic, before a court magistrate last month,
Police official Sheikh Hammad said.
'Perveen killed her daughter Zeenat Bby burning
her alive around 9:00 am on Wednesday,' Haidar
Ashraf, a senior police official told AFP.
'Zeenat was unwilling to go back to her home and
told me that she would be killed by her family, but
later agreed when one of her uncles guaranteed
her safety.
'The day we eloped she had been abused,
there was blood on her nose and on her
lips,' Hassan told CNN. 'She was in
distress; she asked me to take her away
and marry her.
'After two days, she called me and said
that her family had gone back on their
word and asked me to come to get her, but
I told her to wait for the promised eight
days. Then, she was killed.'Hassan's
mother Shahida Khan said that Rafiq's
family 'had promised that not even one hair
on her head would come to harm.'
'We called up her uncle and he told us that they
will bring her back to us themselves -- we trusted
them,' she told CNN.
Hassan Khan, her husband of 11 days, today
buried his wife, who was found to have smoke in
her lungs suggesting she was still alive when she
was set on fire.
'We went to her house, she was gone, she was
finished and they had thrown her burnt body on
the stairs,' he said.Naseem Bibi, Perveen's
younger sister, told AFP:
'After killing her daughter, Perveen went
out on the street, took off her shawl and
started beating herself on her chest,
shouting: 'People! I have killed my
daughter for misbehaving and giving our
family a bad name.'
'My sister declared a long time ago she
would not allow her daughter to marry a
Pashtun,' she said.
The victim's sister Shazia also blamed Zeenat for
defying her mother, but said she had urged her
mother to cut ties with her instead of killing her.
Perveen's husband died several years ago and
her relationship with her daughters had
deteriorated, according to Shazia.
'Our mother became distressed because of
her daughter's disobedience and because
she felt there was no man in the house to
rein her in.'
