The family’s actions included torturing her, preventing her from contacting her family and friends without permission, and even forcing her to drink engine oil.
The husband, Mohammed Shuaib Arshid, 28, had brought his new wife to the UK after an arranged marriage in Pakistan. However, instead of a loving and respectful relationship, Arshid’s relatives joined him in subjecting his wife to coercive and degrading behavior.
