GUJRANWALA: A man's house was set ablaze by his former wife after he remarried for the second time three years after their divorce, Geo News reported on Sunday night.
During the incident, the ex-husband's brother got injured due to fire while his belongings inside the house and the newly-wed's room also caught fire, according to the police.
The man, Adnan, had divorced his wife, Saleha, three years ago due to quarrels, said the police.
