Monday, the girl's parents saw her looking at a boy on a motorcycle, and accused her of having a relationship with him.
As punishment her father beat her, and then with the mother's help he poured acid on his own daughter.
Thirty-five percent of her body was burned by the acid.
The parents took her to the hospital, Tuesday morning, but she died from her injuries, that night.
Her older sister reported the incident to police, who have arrested the parents, who will face murder charges on Friday.
According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, nearly a thousand women are killed in such "honor killings" each year.
