A court has sentenced the husband of Sania Zahra to death after finding him guilty of her murder in a high-profile case.
The verdict comes after months of hearings in which prosecutors presented evidence showing he deliberately killed her following a domestic dispute.
Investigators said the case highlighted ongoing concerns about rising incidents of violence against women in the country.
Family members of Sania Zahra welcomed the ruling, saying they had been fighting for justice since the incident took place.
Rights groups also praised the decision but stressed that more needs to be done to protect women from similar crimes.
Authorities stated that the execution order will now move through the legal process, including possible appeals.
