Farah after her husband poured acid on her for giving birth to a baby girl
A man poured acid on his sleeping wife on International Women's Day
because she gave birth to a baby girl when he had wanted a boy, Dailymail has reported.
The woman identified as Farah, 25, was severely burned in the
alleged attack by Siraj, also known as Bhura, in the town of Moradabad
near New Delhi area of India on Monday.
Giving reason for the act, the man accused her of failing to
fulfill his demand for a dowry and not delivering him a male child. The
32-year-old is now wanted for voluntarily causing grievous bodily harm
using acid and is the subject of a police manhunt.
Farah was rushed to the district hospital after the cowardly attack
in a serious condition with burns to her face, hands, and abdomen.
Her sister Nusrat Jahan said the young woman married the labour
contractor eight years ago, but they began to fight in the past year
when he demanded a dowry.

She said the recent birth of Farah's second daughter was the trigger for the alleged acid attack.
Farah said her husband's family began to give her a hard time after
she gave birth to her first daughter, and later escalated to beating
her.
'After the birth of the first girl, my in-laws started to target me as if I deliberately delivered a baby girl,' he said.
'The harassment kept intensifying as time passed by. For the past one year, things had become really bad.'
Farah said Siraj, under pressure from his family, would demand she go to her parents and get money to give to them.

'When I didn't oblige them, they started to beat me up. It come to a head when my second daughter was born,' she said.
'I was trying to live with the daily dose of torture thinking
about the wellbeing of my daughters. I was wondering if I part ways from
Siraj who would provide for my two daughters and myself.
'But I could never imagine that he would go to the extent of pouring acid on me. I won't forgive him for this ever.'
