Before the attack After the attack
A Pakistani woman who became the disfigured face of the shunned and forgotten women of Pakistan committed suicide, jumping from her sixth floor apartment window in Italy. Fakhra Yunus was only 22 when her husband of three years, Bilal Khar, a member of the country's politically elite Khar family, allegedly attacked her while she slept.
When Yunus and Khar met, she had been working as a prostitute, and the two soon married in 1998.
But almost immediately, Khar allegedly began abusing her, according to reports. She suffered through almost three years of abuse before she ran away. Khar soon located he and allegedly attacked her with acid in 2000. Khar has not been arrested and maintains his innocence.
