Reportedly, a man from the tribal area of Dera Ghazi Khan in Pakistan was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly mutilating his wife's genitalia. A case has been registered against the accused based on the complaint of the victim's father.

The victim's father had heard screams from her daughter's house, while he and his brother were on their way to buy a goat from a nearby village.  As per reports,  the victim's door was locked from inside and once they managed to break open the door, he found her daughter in a pool of blood, while his son-in-law was cutting off her genitalia.

According to the FIR,"The perpetrator said that he attacked his wife after she refused to give him her gold earrings.” There were other reports doing the round, which highlighted that the husband often fought with the woman and had committed the heinous crime because they were not conceiving children. The victim is currently under treatment at the tehsil headquarters hospital Taunsa Sharif.
