In October, two men in Pakistan’s Baluchistan province were arrested after police were tipped off that a five-year-old girl had been forced into a marriage contract.
The girl’s uncle said that a local man had insisted the girl marry his son, and forced her father to accept a marriage contract.
“We insisted that she is too young to contract a marriage,” the girl’s uncle told DW, adding that the exchange between the two men had been filmed and then reported to police.
