A 35-year-old mother of four was allegedly murdered by her younger brother in a suspected 'honour killing' on Wednesday in Sindh's Sanghar district, police said.
Qurban Ali Shar allegedly strangled his elder sister, Sabhagi Shar, on the suspicion that she was having an affair with a man, Station House Officer (SHO) Shahpur Chakar Mohammad Ishaq Sangrasi said.
Ali Shar later surrendered to police and confessed to the crime, police said.
The body of the victim has been transferred to Shahdadpur Taluka hospital for a postmortem examination, the SHO added.
He added that if the victim's husband, Mohammad Juman, who works in a factory in Karachi, failed to register a case, a First Information Report would be registered on behalf of the state.

It is a tyranny in this country that society is intolerant and lawless. People have taken the law into the hands and adopted the un-Islamic and unconstitutional way of living and behaviors. Society is crumbling and leading to a mess-sadly uncontrollable.

What a pity. The honour killing in underdeveloped societies is a clear sign of denying women. A very strange point to note is that never a man, brother or a son is killed under honour killing. Are the men angels ?
And whenever a woman is killed why is the involved man forgotten or forgiven.
Then where is the law of the country and what is the role of women organization s and specific NGOs plus women MNAs,Mps etc,etc.
Alas women are still not considered human beings in such merciless societies.
