Arranged marriages are reportedly, common in poorer, rural areas of Pakistan and pushed through by family members.
Newlywed Asiya Bibi has been charged with murder and her aunt and a man who is allegedly her lover have also been arrested.  Authorities said that all those arrested had been charged under anti-terror law.
