Lahore, 9th July: Yesterday a horrific incident of domestic abuse was reported from Rawalpindi, after which hashtag #JusticeForZahra started trending on Twitter.
According to the report by Baaghi TV, a woman Sadaf Zahra was murdered by her husband, being regularly abused by him and reportedly he was cheating on her too.
Ali Salman is a journalist and a columnist, who advocated women’s rights. What’s the use of all the facade when he was practicing domestic abuse with his own wife?

Javeria Siddique, a journalist, and a columnist who always stand for women’s rights summed the whole incident in powerful words. She said that if your husband beats you up, doesn’t give you proper rights as a wife, and plays around with other women, then don’t think for a second. Throw out such a person from your life and don’t think about what the world would say?

اگر آپ کا شوہر آپ کو رلائے، مارے، آپ کے ازدواجی حقوق پورے نہیں کرے،آپ کو خرچہ نہیں دے،دوسری خواتین سے چکر چلائے اس کچرے کے ڈرم کو اپنی زندگی سے لات مار کر نکال دیں۔یہ مت سوچیں دنیا کیا کہے گی خود سے پیار کریں زندگی کی قدر کریں۔ pic.twitter.com/OfISUzOGXS— Javeria Siddique (@javerias) July 8, 2020
