Parents in a rural village in Pakistan are accused of murdering their 15-year-old daughter by dousing her in acid when they caught her talking to a boy outside the family's home, local police said.

Anvu Shah suffered third-degree burns on her face, arms and chest.

The girl wasn't taken to hospital until the next morning, where she died Wednesday, Tahir Ayub, a police officer, told Agence France Presse.

The teen's older sister notified police, AFP reported, and the girl's parents allegedly confessed to the attack.

"(The girl's father Mohammed) Zafar beat her up and then poured acid over her with the help of his wife," Ayub said.

The attack happened in the Khoi Ratta district in northern Pakistan.

Pakistan is a deeply conservative country, especially in poor rural areas, where women have few rights.

Police said the parents have been charged with murder.
