Nurunnahar Begum's father Ibrahim Moral of Tala upazila said his daughter was married to Nazrul Islam about 8 years back. Soon after the marriage, Nazrul started to torture her for dowry off and on, he said.
He tortured her on Saturday evening which led to her death the next day, he said.
Police said Nurunnahar took poison at night being unable to bear the torture.
