'I wish I had died': Girl struck 15 times with an axe by her BROTHER in attempted 'honour killing'

Gul Meena was forced to marry a 60-year-old man at the age of 12

A 17-year-old girl whose brother tried to murder her in an 'honour killing' said she wishes she had died after surviving an axe attack, disowned by her family for escaping a forced marriage.

At the age of 12, Gul Meena was married off to a 60-year-old man instead of being sent to school in Pakistan.

Every day he would hit her. She would beg him to stop but he carried on, ignoring her tears.
