KARACHI:<\/strong> A domestic dispute in Karachi’s Ibrahim Hyderi neighbourhood took a violent turn when a man allegedly attacked his wife with acid before fleeing the scene. The incident has also raised concerns about a possible underage marriage after conflicting accounts emerged regarding the victim’s age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect, identified as Zeeshan, is accused of throwing acid at his wife, Naseema, during an argument. Following the attack, the injured woman was shifted to the burns ward of Civil Hospital Karachi for medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her statement, Naseema claimed that she is 14 years old and that her marriage took place approximately a year ago. She further alleged that her husband had been physically abusing her regularly and was responsible for the acid attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Naseema’s father, Akbar, presented a different version of events while speaking to Geo News outside the hospital’s burns ward. He maintained that his daughter is 19 years old and had married Zeeshan by mutual choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Akbar, the couple’s marriage ceremony was held at Zeeshan’s residence. He acknowledged that disagreements between the husband and wife had become frequent after their marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing details about the incident, Akbar said Naseema’s mother-in-law had dropped her off at the family home on Sunday afternoon. Later that evening, at around 8 pm, Zeeshan reportedly arrived at the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An argument allegedly broke out between the couple, during which Zeeshan threw acid at Naseema and escaped before he could be apprehended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victim’s father has called on police authorities to locate the suspect without delay and ensure that legal action is taken against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, police officials said they had taken Zeeshan’s mother and sister into custody as part of the investigation. Authorities added that efforts were underway to trace the suspect and expressed hope that he would be arrested soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident has also brought the issue of child marriage into focus, as Naseema’s statement about her age differs from the information provided by her father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Naseema says she is 14, her father insists she is 19. The conflicting claims have not yet been independently verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police are continuing their investigation into the alleged attack, while the suspect remains at large according to the available information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
