A brave minor found her voice against the forced marriage with a 50-year-old as local police intervened in an ongoing wedding and inquired the will of the child bride.
According to reports, the police was informed of an incident taking place in the Uch Sharif vicinity where a 16-year-old was forced to marry a man about thrice her age.
The police reached the wedding scene and went up to the bride to inquire whether she consented this event and willed to marry the 50-year-old man.
Upon police inquiry, the girl reportedly found her voice and admitted she was being forced into the marriage. After her admission, the police broke up the ceremony and the groom’s family had to return without child bride.
