A young Pakistani teacher has died after being tortured and set alight by her former boss as punishment for refusing a marriage proposal from his son, relatives and police said. Maria Sadaqat, 19, was attacked in the village of Upper Dewal, outside the capital Islamabad, on Monday night, and died two days later as a result of injuries.
Ms Sadaqat had recently been forced to leave her teaching job at the school, after the principal had begun harassing her when she turned down the proposal from his son, who was 'twice her age'.
'She was badly tortured and then burned alive. We brought her to hospital in Islamabad but she succumbed to her wounds today,' Ms Sadaqat's uncle, Abdul Basit, told reporters from outside a burns centre in the capital.
