The incident happened in Sheikhupura. In the video, the man can be seen hitting the woman with an item resembling a wooden rolling pin and then he proceeds to pull her arm and kick her in the face as she struggles to protect herself. All the while, three little children can be seen defending the daughter-in-law (we do not have the confirmation if they are her children or not).
After the video got attention, Sheikhupura police replied to the post, stating that an FIR has been registered against the man seen in the video and that a police team is conducting raids to arrest him.
Additionally, as per claims, the police got in touch with the daughter-in-law who was brutally beaten.
“Justice will be served”, the police replied.

However, later, in a video message posted on X, the daughter-in-law addresses the incident stating, “I misbehaved which is why he hit me”, adding that it is a personal, domestic matter which has now been resolved and that she does not intend to take any action against her father-in-law.
ہمارے معاشرے میں جوائنٹ فیملی سسٹم کئی دفعہ خواتین کے لئے بہت بڑا عذاب بن جاتا ہے خاص طور پر جو دوسرے خاندان سے بیاہ کر جوائنٹ فیملی والے خاندان میں آتی ہیں انکو اپنے سسر ،ساس، جیٹھانی اور دیور کی وہ کڑوی کسیلی باتیں برداشت کرنی پڑتی ہیں
