A Pakistani woman has been arrested for killing her husband and subsequently trying to cook his flesh, during what appeared to be a raging fit of pique about her spouse’s disloyalty. The 32-year-old woman, Zainab Bibi, killed her husband after she found he was planning to marry another woman without first seeking her permission.

Zainab and her 22-year-old nephew reportedly murdered the man, Ahmed Abbas, and filled a bowl with cut-up flesh from the body which they were intent on cooking before police apprehended them. TV stations in Pakistan have flashed the footage for audiences to see – which is lovely.

It’s customary in the Islamic country for a man who wants to marry a second time to get the blessing of his first wife.  The law is rarely adhered to. Although, in light of this gruesome incident, maybe there’ll be renewed interest in the practice.
