Pregnant Woman Killed In Pakistan

Three persons including a heavily pregnant woman and her husband have been killed for marrying without their family's consent in two separate cases, the latest incidents of "honour killing" in Pakistan days after another pregnant woman was killed by her mother.

A pregnant woman and her husband were abducted and shot dead by relatives who disapproved of their marriage, police said today, the latest in a surge of reported "dishonour killings" in Pakistan.

Three young women fell prey to "honour killing" in Punjab province of Pakistan, days after the stoning of a 25-year-old pregnant woman in Lahore.

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has demanded to know why police apparently stood by while a pregnant woman was stoned and beaten to death by her family in front of one of the country's top courts, his spokesman said on Thursday.

In an apparent honour killing, a 25-year-old pregnant woman was today brutally beaten and stoned to death outside the High Court on Lahore by her father and brothers for marrying the man of her choice.

A 21-year-old Pakistani woman, who was pregnant, was allegedly smothered to death by her husband and his parents, who later claimed she may have been killed by an evil spirit, a British court has heard.
