People often talk about troubles with their mother-in-laws. It's hard enough dealing with some in-laws, but when you have to live with them (like many young couples do in places like Pakistan) it can be even more challenging.
25-year-old Sobia Bibi (mother of one child) got along well with her husband, but she often argued with his family. It probably didn't help matters that he was off working in Karachi while she lived with the family in a small village near Lahore. So on March 27, after some disagreement, Bibi's 90-year-old mother-in-law and several members of Bibi's husband's family burned her alive, as she was watching television. Al-Arabiya doesn't mention if the house burned down, as well.
According to Sub-Inspector Muhammad Hussain, ' a case had been registered against four people', including the mother-in-law who was suspected of being inolved.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing is not an isolated incident. Daughter-in-laws, and women in general, are as disposable as diapers in that region.
