A man has appeared in court accused of attacking his wife, stripping her n*ked and beating her with a pole before shaving her head, after she posted a video of herself crying online.
Asma Aziz, 22, claims she was attacked and humiliated by her husband and his friends because she had refused to dance for them.
Her husband, Mian Faisal, and an employee of his, appeared at the Model Town Courts in Lahore, Pakistan, on Monday, after four days on remand.
Last week, mother-of-three Asma appeared in the video with bruises on her face and her hair shaved off, begging the public for help.
Judicial Magistrate Shahid Zia has now ordered Faisal to remain in custody to await a medical report on his alleged victim’s injuries.
Faisal told the court he wanted the chance to explain his side of the story.
Asma was present at Monday’s hearing along with her lawyers, where she urged the court to bring her husband to justice.
