Pakistan ‘Romeo and Juliet’ flee
A Pakistani couple whose marriage set two opposing tribes at loggerheads have left for Norway where they have been given asylum.
Officials in Sindh province confirmed that Shaista Almani and Balkh Sher Mahar departed on Wednesday night.
Their marriage - in violation of tribal codes of honour - led to a stand-off between the Mahr and Almani tribes.
In March the Sindh High Court said they had done nothing illegal and could go where they liked.
