ISLAMABAD - A woman was forced to parade naked in public in a central Pakistani village by armed men in revenge for having allegedly helped one of their female relatives to elope with her lover, a press report said on Thursday.
Seven men with weapons forced their way into the home of the mother of four in a village near the city of Multan, 600 kilometres south-west of Islamabad, and dragged her outside.
She was later stripped and made to march through the village, The News daily reported. Police later arrested three men in connection with the act of revenge.
Romantic relations between unmarried couples are generally viewed as an offence in Pakistan, often resulting in humiliation or physical retribution by parents and relatives.
