I get it. Forced marriage sucks. This poor girl's miserable father forced her to marry a man she hated. She tried to escape and her father took her right back to the hell she wanted to escape. She tried to poison him to have peace in life.
It failed.

A Pakistani woman has been arrested after a plot to murder her husband with a poisoned glass of milk led to the death of 13 family members.
The woman’s mother-in-law used the tainted milk to make lassi, according to police, after her husband refused the glass. A total of 27 people, including several children, suffered poisoning from the yogurt-based drink.
Police in Muzaffargarh, a city in south Punjab, say that Asiya concocted the plot to “avenge” being married against her wishes two months ago.
After an earlier attempt to flee to her parent’s home was foiled, she was provided with poison by her alleged lover, said a Muzaffargarh district police officer, Nazim Ali.
But the plot went awry when Amjad, Asiya’s husband, did not drink the glass of milk she handed to him, Mr Ali said. Instead, her mother-in-law poured the poisoned substance into a vat kept by the family, and drew from it the next day to make lassi and butter.
Initially, it was claimed that a lizard had fallen into the milk, poisoning it. But according to police, Asiya confessed her role while in custody.
Although Pakistan recently strengthened laws designed to prevent child marriage and forced conversion, there is little legal remedy for women who reject a partner chosen for them by their family.
Pakistan accounted for the highest number of forced marriages reported to the UK’s Forced Marriage Unit in 2016. Some 612 of the 1400 cases involved women from the south Asian country brought over to Britain.
Cases of poisoning are common in Punjab, where last month a newly-married couple were poisoned for unknown reasons by the family of the bride.
