Last Thursday, a man allegedly murdered his wife for the so -called honor near Overpiece in Karachi, police said.
According to a statement issued by the site, the police in the site industrial area, Pari, 40, was allegedly strangled by her husband Ghulam Ali Bugti in her home in Shahbaz Goth, Bypass of the North.

The ‘honor’ murders continued to claim the lives of women throughout the country in 2024, perpetuated by deeply rooted social beliefs about family dignity and shame.
The data of the Pakistan Human Rights Commission (HRCP) show that in 2024, the murders of ‘Honor’ continued to be a serious problem, with particularly high figures in Sindh and Punjab. From January to November, a total of 346 people were victims of “honoring” crimes in the country.
Incidents of violence against women are common throughout the country. In December 2023, the Asian Development Bank reported in a study that domestic violence was emerging as a silent pandemic in Pakistan, raising a serious challenge for society and the State.
