In yet another case of violence against women in Pakistan, a woman was set on fire by her heartless husband in Karachias she objected to him having relations with other women.

She was tortured before being doused with petrol and set ablaze, leaving her with 40 per cent burns. Soon after the incident, the husband escaped from the scene and was arrested by the city police only after a couple of days.

It is also reported that she was often subjected to abuse and torture by her husband. The injured woman is under treatment at Burns Ward of Civil Hospital in Karachi while the police started interrogating the arrested husband.

Korangi police investigation officer Mohammed Qais Khan told Dawn News that the police conducted a raid in the Azeempura area and arrested the suspect, identified as Waqas.

Around 40 percent of Ireland's total greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture, far higher than the European Union average.
