The victim's mother conveyed to the authorities, "My daughter got married to her cousin several years ago. Their marriage was forced and due to the insistence of the families, which led to constant conflicts and disputes between them."
Further investigation by the police revealed that the young woman had initiated divorce proceedings some time ago. The husband was taken into custody.
