A man is suspected of stabbing and killing his wife in the Marah neighborhood in Hermel, reported our correspondent in the Bekaa on Friday. The victim is believed to be a Syrian national, but the nationality of her husband remains unknown. Security forces intervened and opened an investigation to determine the motives of the crime.

Lebanon adopted a domestic violence law in 2013, but many women continue to suffer abuse at the hands of their husbands.
