Pakistan Girl Burnt for Eloping is buried

A young Pakistani woman allegedly burnt to death by her mother for marrying without family consent has been buried.

Her mother is in custody accused of luring her back from her in-laws.

It is the third such case in a month in Pakistan, where attacks on women who go against conservative rules on love and marriage are common.

Police say the body of Zeenat Rafiq, who was 18, showed signs of torture. She was doused with fuel and set alight.

It remains unclear whether she was still alive when she was set on fire. Results of a post mortem examination are awaited.
