A Pakistani family residing in the UK has been sentenced to over seven years in jail for the mental and physical torture of their daughter-in-law, Ambreen Fatima Sheikh. Asgar Sheikh, 31, along with his father Khalid, 55, and mother Shabnam, 52, faced charges of allowing a vulnerable adult to suffer harm. Ambreen Fatima Sheikh, who hails from Pakistan, experienced life-limiting injuries due to the abuse inflicted by her in-laws. The court revealed that the family was dissatisfied with Ambreen’s housework, leading to severe mistreatment. Ambreen, subjected to forced medication and corrosive substances, suffered irreversible brain damage, rendering her in a deep unconscious state.

The tragic incident occurred in 2015, shortly after Ambreen’s arranged marriage and relocation to the UK from Pakistan. Despite initial health, Ambreen’s current state, where she can only survive through a feeding tube, indicates a grim future. The judge deemed the injuries inflicted on her almost as severe as death. The family’s delay in seeking medical help and their attempts to interfere with the legal process raised concerns. The court’s decision highlights the severity of the case, where those responsible for protecting Ambreen were the ones causing her irreparable harm.
