Pakistan Investigates Child Marriage and Possible Link to Sister's Killing in Balochistan
In Pakistan's Balochistan province, a 3-year-old girl was reportedly married to a 60-year-old man under the traditional 'walwar' custom, involving a bride price of 2.5 million Pakistani rupees. The girl's father was arrested, while the groom remains at large. Authorities are investigating a possible link between this case and the recent killing of the girl's 13-year-old sister, whose husband is suspected of her murder. The young girl and her mother are under police protection as the investigation continues.
