According to ARY News, police have arrested the young bride who admitted to giving her husband, identified as Siddique, a poisonous drink that led to his death. The girl, Samreen, was married to Siddique as part of the watta-satta practice.
The report said that Samreen took this step after she was annoyed with the 'exchange marriage'. The police have shifted the body to a hospital for medico-legal formalities and would initiate legal action in the case after receiving the post-mortem report.
In a somewhat similar case, a woman allegedly killed her husband just 20 days after their marriage with the help of two accomplices in Khairpur.
