Unlike
many other countries Pakistan doesn’t follow any strict rules when it
comes to selling chemicals such as sulphuric Acid, Hydrochloric Acid.
In fact it is used in an average domestic household as a toilet and
sinks cleaning purposes. Furthermore in villages its used for
Agricultural purposes. It is cheap and available everywhere.
Majority
of acid burn and petrol burn cases involves proposal refusal or
outgoing wife and divorces. Proposal/refusal victims are attacked and
disfigured in such a way so that they may never give to another, what
they refused of their attacker. These women are forced by society to
live with their parents and will never likely marry. For wives it is
much the same motivation, except some are burned by their
abuser
in order to trap them in the home and others are to ensure any future
is destroyed.
