KEY POINTS:
JAIPUR - An 11-year-old Indian girl may not survive after her great uncle doused her in kerosene and set her on fire - for wearing lipstick.
Local media say the 55-year-old conservative Muslim man said he set the young girl ablaze for wearing make-up and being "scantily dressed".
But some relatives told news channels that he had tried to molest the girl, who objected, and then he set her alight.
Reports say she has burns to 90 per cent of her body and is unlikely to live.
