| A Pakistani teenager and her husband were murdered in a remote eastern town by a group of relatives for marrying against their wishes, police said Saturday.
The killings come a month after a pregnant woman was beaten to death with bricks by members of her own family for marrying the man of her choice.
Maafia Bibi, 17, and her 31-year-old husband Muhammad Sajjad were attacked with a knife by Bibi's father, her two uncles, grandfather and mother on Thursday night after inviting the couple to Bibi's parents' home.
The murders took place in a village which is part of Daska town, 162 kilometres (100 miles) east of the capital Islamabad.
"Bibi's parents invited Muhammad Sajjad and his wife to their house to settle the dispute, but hit them both with a sharped-edged knife, killing them both," district police chief Gohar Nafees told AFP.
