The prosecution has ordered the Mossos to continue collecting information about whether or not the marriage of the victims was forced, a crime in Spain
The Pakistani authorities suspect that the two sisters from Terrassa killed in pakistan, aroj Y aneesa Abbas, they traveled to their country of origin, from which they had been away for years, deceived, according to what El País has published – which advances that the trap consisted of making them believe that their mother had fallen ill – and confirmed by EL PERIÓDICO. The young women, aged 24 and 21, had been forcibly married to cousins from the Gujarat district, in eastern Pakistan, but had been living in Catalonia for some time.
The local newspaper ‘Dawn’ explains that the family contacted the girls to inform them that the mother was in serious condition and wanted to see them in person. For the police investigating the events in Pakistan, proof that a plot had been hatched to lure the young women back to the country is that barely 24 hours elapsed from the time the Abbas sisters landed in their country until they were tortured and murdered. The girls had arrived in Pakistan on Thursday and the event occurred on Friday. The plan of their murderers was to force them to start the paperwork so that their husbands could travel to Spain with them, something that the two sisters refused. That is why her own brothers, her cousins – also husbands – and one of her uncles killed them. All of them, six in total, were arrested by the Pakistani police.
Highly probable
“We have no evidence that the deception took place, but it is highly probable“, sources from the Pakistani consulate consulted by this newspaper have indicated.
The crime of the two young women, settled in Terrassa, has shocked pakistan, where the local press is “very active in condemning these two murders,” the consul said in an interview. “There is a social movement of rejection. Currently a woman is part of the highest judicial establishment in Pakistan and 18% of the country’s legislators are women, the highest percentage in history. But unfortunately, violence against women is a problem , not just from Pakistan, but from the whole world,” Salman said.

For Pakistani culture, according to sources from that community based in Catalonia, women are something that is considered almost divine. And behavior on their part that distances them from that dimension, the same sources try to argue without much conviction, can provoke violent reprisals on the part of men. Or that a father makes the decision to force a marriage like the one agreed for Aneesa and Urooj. How this link was managed or under what conditions the young women traveled to Pakistan, are questions about which the Mossos d’Esquadra have asked the father of the two victims and has sent the report to the Prosecutor’s Office, which has ordered whether the two girls They were forced to marry.
But the crime, for which there are already six detainees, must be investigated by the Pakistani police since the two women did not have Spanish nationality and were murdered there, police sources point out.
