Police in Pakistan say they have arrested a woman for allegedly throwing acid on a man who refused to marry her.
Local police official Bashir Ahmed said on Friday the attack took place a day before, in the Mukhdoom Rashid neighbourhood of Multan, a city in central Pakistan. Ahmed identified the woman as 32-year-old Monil Mai.
It is not uncommon for women in Pakistan to be victims of acid attacks and other so-called “honour crimes.” It is rarer, however, for women to carry out such violence against men.
