Ghotki: A girl killed herself by drinking poison in Ubauro, Ghotki, on Saturday after refusing to become Vani to pay for her brother’s act of marrying a girl of his choice.
The girl also poisoned her parents who are stated to be in critical condition and undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Karachi. A Jirga had decided that the girl must marry someone from her brother’s in-laws after he married a girl of his choice. The Jirga also ordered her brother to pay Rs1 million. The deceased's brother, Sarfaraz Sheikh, and Aasia contracted court marriage three months ago. Sheikh said a local feudal lord summoned a Jirga following his marriage to Aasia. “The Jirga asked me to pay Rs1 million and give my sister, Ruby, as Vani to Aasia’s relative,” Sheikh said.
