Husband who allegedly stripped wife naked, shaved her head jailed until court sees medical report
73
A judicial magistrate on Monday sent a man suspected of torturing his wife and shaving her hair off to jail until a medical report of the victim is furnished before the court.
Judicial Magistrate Shahid Zia, who was hearing the case at Model Town Courts, said that a ruling will be made on the matter after the medical report of the accuser, Asma Aziz, is presented.
The incident occurred on March 24; however, the Kahna police arrested the suspects on March 27 after a video complaint of Aziz went viral on social media and news channels, prompting the government’s machinery to come into action.
The woman alleged that her husband Mian Faisal would invite his friends to their house and force her to dance to amuse them. One day, she said, Faisal as usual forced her to perform dance when he invited his friends to their house. However, she refused to fulfil the demand of her husband and he started beating her with a plastic pipe and then shaved her head off with the help of his employee Rashid Ali.
Subsequently, police registered a case, arrested the husband and one of his employees and produced them before the court. The magistrate remanded them in police custody for investigation.
Today, the police produced Aziz's husband and one of his employees after culmination of their four-day physical remand.
Asma Bibi, along with her lawyers, appeared before the court. In her statement, she alleged that she was subjected to torture for her refusal to dance before friends of her husband. She pleaded the court to bring her husband to justice.
Police also submitted an investigation report and recovered material in the court. The investigation officer told the court that police recovered a trimmer, hair of the girl and a pipe used in alleged torture of the complainant in the case.
According to Aziz's account, she had married Faisal four years ago. Her husband turned hostile and started misbehaving with and torturing her over petty issues within six months of their marriage, Aziz said.
Faisal said on Monday that he is ready to accept his punishment [if proven guilty] but he should first have the chance to narrate his side of the story.
"You [the media] have been advocates for Asma for the past one week — give an hour to me and listen to what I have to say," he said.
"I will accept any punishment I am given," he said while talking to reporters upon his arrival at the court today.

@Inamul Haq uk, well the press and social media are busy portraying her as a woman of questionable character. So my answer would be institutionalized misogyny. We don't complain when women get abused but we sure do get upset when they dare speak out and file charges.

@Inamul Haq uk, Let him speak too dear! Law is there to judge guilty or innocent.. these are very sensitive issues and unfortunately our media so as many people always rush to make judgement against one party mostly men. Hope the guilty party get harsh punishment so others cannot even thing to do such crime!

It's true how a man do such thing to his wife but everything from the beginning does not fit right in this story. These are not rural people with no education. They both come from upper class of our society and such things do not happen there. I wish we could find out the whole truth. Regardless, this man must be severely punished to teach a lesson to everyone.

@MAK, maybe because many of our men continuously mistreat, brutalize, rape, abuse, torture and kill our women. He can speak in court. But there is NO justification for misogyny. You don't like your wife, then divorce her and move on.
Not all men are monsters and REAL men get a bad reputation because of the monsters.

Perplexing? The woman's head is shaved, and the medical represent won't show who did it will they? Nor will the reports show who stripped her. Not sure what the judge is waiting for? He can see and ask the victim questions and rule now. Or, is something else going on?

He should stay in the jail for at least a couple of years so that he might learn how to treat another human being. It is sick how the society has reacted to it. Again, questioning the woman. No matter what, you can't treat another person like that.

@hussain,
I respectfully disagree. The west might have their own issues but this type of misogyny (violence, acid attacks and honour killings every day in Pakistan) isn't trending there. It is in our country however. We need to address that instead if deflecting like you are. When ever we have local bad news we quickly point to what West might be doing. Deflection won't help. Reflection will. Two wrongs also don't make a right. Let's focus on our doubts which is the subject of this article.
