A young Pakistani woman allegedly burnt to death by her mother for marrying without her family consent has been buried.
Zeenat Rafiq was laid to rest by her husband’s family before dawn in Lahore. Police said none of her relatives came forward to claim her body. Her mother accused of murdering her is in police custody.
It is the third such case in a month in Pakistan, where attacks on women who go against conservative rules on love and marriage are common.
Police say the body of Zeenat Rafiq, who was 18, showed signs of torture. She was doused with fuel and set alight.
