About 150 years ago in Kohat Pakhtunkhwa, a Pashtun woman was raped by her husband's sister's son. The woman, for obvious reasons, couldn't tell anyone at the time but told the rapist that sooner or later he would come to harm. The rapist laughed at the threat at that time. 
Later, the rapist married a 'prostitute' and brought her home which was in the same enclosure where the woman lived but in a different house.
At some point later, the rapist hit her on a kids' dispute. This is when the woman decided to avenge the rape.

She killed the map while he was asleep with a knife.
She then pleaded guilty to the murder and the court sentenced her to death.

The author of the book, from where this excerpt is taken, has an interesting footnote to the verdict which reflects her own interpretation of the cause of the murder.
The rapist's marriage with the prostitute might have excited the woman's jealousy that led to the murder.
