Bride refuses to return to groom's village
A young lady has refused to return to her husband's home after spending just 10 days in his village, prompting a protest in front of the Badin Press Club by residents of Arab Sheedi village. The protesters, including the groom, Ghulam Rasool Sheedi, his mother Hajiani, and father Muhammad Hassan Sheedi, appealed to authorities for intervention, demanding the return of the bride or compensation for wedding expenses. During a press conference, Hassan stated that his son married Hina 22 days ago. Then, 10 days after the wedding, Hina's father took her back to her parental home in Murad Mallah Para, near Qazia Wah, for 10 days during Muharram, saying he would bring her back on the 11th of Muharram. However, Hassan stated that when they went to bring her back, Hina, upon her parents' instructions, refused to return. According to him, when the groom's family sought help from community elders to resolve the matter, the bride's family behaved disrespectfully, refused to send Hina back, and made threats telling the groom's family to leave and not return. Further, Hassan claimed they had spent Rs250,000 on the wedding and demanded that if Hina's family refuses to send her back, they should at least reimburse the expenses. He alleged the bride is unwilling to leave urban life to live in the village. The family called on authorities to take notice of the issue and ensure the bride is returned so their son could begin his married life.

Luari Sharif shrine dispute echoes in Badin
A group of men, allegedly associated with one of the contested custodians of the Luari Sharif shrine in Badin district, reportedly assaulted journalists by attacking Badin Press Club on Monday. The club's president stated that armed men forcefully entered the club at a time when some people belonging to an opposing group of the custodians were addressing a press conference. The armed men wanted to stop the press conference. He said that the armed men climbed the club's walls to enter the place. He, however, felt relieved that the attackers could not get close to Mir Tariq Talpur and others who were speaking at the press conference. Talpur's group is said to be at loggerheads with Pir Muhammad Sadiq Qureshi's group. Memon lamented that though the police promptly reached the club on their complaint, they stood as spectators instead of trying to control the situation. Separately, a meeting of journalists at the club denounced the attack and demanded immediate action against the attackers by arresting them and charging them in an FIR under provisions of the Anti Terrorism Act. Though the incident's FIR could not be registered by the evening, police detained at least seven people who have been blamed for the assault.
