After the medical reports determined Arzoo’s age to be around 14-15 years, Sindh High Court has ordered authorities to settle her at a shelter home.
The court bench, comprising of two members Justice KK Agha and Justice Amjad Ali Sahito, heard the case on Monday, in which Arzoo’s reports by the medical bench were shared, declaring her underage. The bench was informed that the case is now registered under the Sindh Child Marriages Restraint Act 2013.
According to reports, upon inquiry, Arzoo denied being forced to convert to Islam, and expressed the desire to live with her 44-year old husband.
However, the SHC ordered authorities to shift her to a shelter home where only those people will be allowed to meet her who she wants to see.
