forced to marry, they refused to follow their husbands to Spain

In Spain, a story has been making a lot of noise in recent days. Two sisters were killed in Pakistan when they had to return to Spain, where they lived. They were to follow their husbands, but refused because they wanted a divorce.

Aged 24 and 21, Arooj and Anisa were forcibly married to their cousins ​​and lived in Terrassa, not far from Barcelona. However, it was in a village in Pakistan that they were murdered by their family, in their sleep. The two sisters had in fact taken their independence in Spain, and were no longer under the influence of other members of their family.

Six people arrested

Six people were arrested by the Pakistani police, including the spouses, an uncle and a brother of Arook and Anisa. They face the death penalty. According to information from El Pais, the brother would not have supported their refusal to return to Spain. He planned to make them work there in order to meet the needs of the parents in Pakistan.

The Catalan police have opened an investigation to understand what the two young women were doing in Pakistan and to find out if an accomplice was in Spain.
