Woman Tortured to Death by Husband and In-Laws for Giving Birth to Daughters in Bahawalnagar

In a tragic and shocking incident, a woman in Bahawalnagar, Punjab, was tortured to death by her husband and in-laws for giving birth to a daughter. The victim, Shumaila Bibi, faced relentless abuse from her husband, Nauman, and his family for not bringing a dowry and for bearing daughters.

The incident occurred in the Khadam area of Bahawalnagar. Shumaila, a resident of Kot Radha Kishan, had married Nauman of Khadam Abad Colony out of her own choice. The couple had six children—two sons and four daughters. Despite this, Shumaila endured ongoing mistreatment from her husband and in-laws, who blamed her for the birth of daughters.

Upon receiving a complaint from Shumaila’s brother, the local police registered a case at the City B Division Police Station and arrested Nauman. The victim’s body was sent to the District Hospital for a post-mortem examination as investigations continue into the heartbreaking case.
