<p>Police in Bangladesh have arrested four Islamic clerics after a teenage girl was whipped to death for allegedly having an illicit relationship with a married man. </p>
<p>Police chief AKM Shahidur Rahman said the clerics are accused of ordering 14-year-old Mosammet Hena to receive 100 lashes in a fatwa or religious edict at a village in south-western Shariatpur district, 35 miles from the capital Dhaka.</p>
<p>Fatwas are illegal in Bangladesh, a Muslim-majority nation governed by secular laws.</p>
<p>But Islamic clerics often preside over courts that use Sharia law and issue fatwas to deal with issues like extra-marital relationships. Such incidents usually occur in remote villages where police do not have quick access.</p>
<p>The girl collapsed after she was lashed in public with a bamboo cane about 70 times on Monday, Mr Rahman said. She was taken to a hospital and died hours later.</p>
<p>Mr Rahman said the 40-year-old man with whom the girl was allegedly involved was also sentenced to 100 lashes, but he fled to escape the punishment.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are hunting for the man,&#8221; Mr Rahman said.</p>
