Details indicate that the father of a 13-year-old girl in Swat married a 70-year-old man. When the authorities learned of the situation, they moved quickly to arrest the little girl’s father and groom.

Also placed under arrest were the witnesses to the marriage and the nikahkhuwan. The young girl’s medical needs prompted a hospital visit in the meantime.

The Marriage Restriction Act of 1929, which is the current law of Pakistan, stipulates that a female must be 16 years old and a boy must be 18.
