A young woman in South Sudan was beaten to death by her brothers for refusing to wed a suitor who is said to have offered her family 40 cows in exchange for the 20-year-old’s hand in marriage.

Taban Abel, a state minister in Sudan, was cited by Radio Tamazuj as saying that Nyaluk Magorok was murdered in the town of Yirol in Eastern Lakes State by her own family members because she turned down the arranged marriage proposal.
