The girl’s family members also reached the court and alleged that the boy had kidnapped their daughter, while the groom’s parents presented in the court the ‘Nikah Nama’ (marriage certificate).
However, as per the Nikah Nama presented by the girl’s parents, her age was 13 years.
Ordering that the girl be sent to Darul Aman, the court adjourned the case’s hearing until December 16.
