The wedlock of the teenage girl with the Pakistan MP, who is four times her age, comes despite the country’s rule, which does not permit marriages of girls under the age of 16 and also proposes a sentence for parents if they intentionally do it. According to Pak Observer, the administrator has only solemnified Nikkah with the girl while a proper marriage celebration is yet to be held. Meanwhile, the Lower Chitral DPO has said that the girl’s father has ensured the officials that he will not send his daughter till she is 16-years-old.
