LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court on Monday sentenced a mother to death for burning her daughter alive, Geo News reported.
Zeenat Rafiq was set on fire by her mother days after she married Hassan Khan, a motorcycle mechanic against the wishes of her family.
According to Geo News, the court also awarded life imprisonment to a brother of the victim as their mother had confessed to killing her daughter with the help of her son.
Love marriages are considered to bring dishonour to families in extremely conservative parts of the country.
