A pregnant woman has been stoned to death by her own family.

A pregnant woman has been stoned to death by her own family outside a courthouse in the Pakistani city of Lahore for marrying a man her family disapproved of.Unfortunate fate of Farzana Parveen, a 25-year-old, was killed mercilessly by a group of 20 people including her brothers,father and cousin,in the name of "honor".It is reported that the victim was stoned by until her death.
The event occurred when Farzana Parveen refused to get arranged marriage and later elope with man she loved rather than marrying the groom chosen by her family.

Arranged marriages are common among conservative Pakistanis, and hundreds of women are murdered every year in so-called honor killings carried out by husbands or relatives as a punishment for alleged adultery or other illicit sexual behavior. Stoning in public  however, are extremely rare case.
A father with "No regret".
"I killed my daughter as she had insulted all of our family by marrying a man without our consent, and I have no regret over it," Mujahid, the police investigator, quoted the father as saying.
