Police have launched an investigation into the marriage of a 14-year-old girl with Maulana Salahuddin Ayubi, leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), and a Member of National Assembly (MNA) from Balochistan.
According to a report, the girl was a student of Government Girls High School, Jughoor, where her date of birth had been recorded as of October 28, 2006, which showed that she had not attained the age of marriage.
Maulana Salahuddin Ayubi, the Member of the National Assembly is in his late 50s. The police have launched the probe after receiving a complaint from an NGO working for the welfare of women in Chitral.
Chitral police station SHO Inspector Sajjad Ahmed was saying that a few days ago, on the complaint of the organisation, the police had reached the girl's home, but her father had denied the girl's marriage and had even given an affidavit to this effect.
The Lower Chitral DPO has said that the girl's father has assured the authorities that he will not send his daughter until she is 16-years-old.
