Four Pakistani sisters killed themselves after a row with their father who could not afford dowries for them to get married, officials said today.
The women threw themselves into a canal after arguing with their father in Mailsi, a town in the rural southern part of Punjab province. A fifth sister was rescued from the water.
“A poor farmer, Bashir Ahmed Rajput, could not marry his five daughters because he had no money to offer dowry,” Malik Daud Hasnain, a senior police official said.
“After an argument on the issue yesterday, his daughters became desperate and jumped together into a canal.”
The women were aged 45, 43, 38, 35 and 31. Full story...
