A pregnant Pakistani teenager was mauled by dogs and then shot dead by her inlaws over a property dispute, the girl's parents and a human rights group said.
But 17-year-old Tasleem Solangi's death was later justified as an honour killing by a local jirga or tribal council over allegations that she had illicit relations with other men, they claimed.
The incident, which happened in March but details of which have only emerged, is the latest honour killing that has claimed the lives of more than 150 women this year.
Gulsher Solangi, from Khaipur district, 425 kilometres (265 miles) from the southwestern city of Karachi, said his daughter's new family, who deny any wrongdoing, repeatedly beat her after her marriage and demanded she transfer land
and pay money to them.
She was then killed when he refused to hand over his property, he added.
"I saw my daughter running helplessly trying to save herself from hounding dogs," the 59-year-old farmer said, adding that he was held inside a house as his daughter was thrown to the baying pack.
"I would not forget the screams of my daughter for the rest of my life."

This is brutal. When will this end?

What was the evidence they had that she had sexual relations with other men .As far as i know they need 3 male eye witnesses to prove that so thats also unislamic.
Where all that happened there is no location in the buzz babarzm and why government is not taking any action against that.
Even if she was in an illicit relationship it can't be used as justification for killing her. However, likelihood is that she was murdered and then these tales were cooked as a cover up.
Plant a tree
agree with you babarzm .
I was actually hounded by dogs when I was some 7 years old and my mom neva saw that happening. I was literally screaming and running here and there and then some ppl made the dogs go away. In real life, a most frightening experience.
And these were dogs not human beings, mind you. No reality checks required here.

This is entirely barbaric and unIslamic too - people should refrain from (ab)using religion to justify their whims!
PPP MNA and PPP CM are trying to hide the facts
