A man has been arrested in Lahore for "deceitfully" marrying a woman for her wealth.
As per the police, the case was filed by a woman against her husband who had allegedly lured her into marriage to steal her wealth.
The complainant, who is a British citizen, stated in the first information report that she had come to Pakistan in 2023 due to health issues of her mother and that is when the suspect "deceitfully” married her.
She alleged that she returned to the UK but her husband laid his hands on her jewellery, property and other valuables behind her and refused to travel to UK to join her.
The complainant further stated when she came back to Pakistan recently, she came to know that she was her husband’s "fifth wife" as he had married and deceived four other women before her to swindle them.
Moreover, she also accused the investigating officer dealing with the case of supporting the suspect, and appealed to the Punjab inspector general to take notice of the matter.
In a shocking incident earlier this year, a French national girl of Pakistani origin — disguised as a boy — was arrested in Mirpur City of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) for reportedly trafficking local girls abroad, covering the act with the pretext of marriage.
