After Dua Zahra, a second case of an alleged abduction and marriage of an underage girl has come to light in Preetabad, Hyderabad.

According to the girl’s father Nasir Arain, 12-year-old Umm-e-Hani went missing on May 21.

Her marriage certificate was shown on May 24. The father said his marriage was not even 18 years old so how could his daughter turn eighteen?

He said that his daughter had filed a petition seeking protection in court in Karachi, where she was made a party to the case.

She had left to go to a sewing centre on May 21.
