Karachi’s 14 years old Dua Zehra, who went missing from Lahore about 10 days ago, was found from Lahore and she had solemnized the nikkah there, police said.
According to the Lahore police spokesperson, Dua and Zaheer were taken to the Okara District Police Office where their statements were recorded. They will be moved to Lahore in police protection.
On Tuesday, Dua’s video message surfaced on mainstream and social media in which the minor girl said she had married willingly to Zaheer Ahmed.
“No one has kidnapped me. I have come here on my own,” Dua said in the video, as she could be seen next to her husband, Zaheer.
“I want to live with Zaheer Ahmed and don’t want to return home. I have not brought any luggage from my home and solemnized nikkah on my own will,” she further added.
Dua said in the video that her parents used to torture her and forcefully wanted her to marry someone else. She clarified that her age was being falsely reported as she was an adult, aged above 18.
Sources from police have revealed that Dua and Zaheer were involved in a relationship through a mobile game ‘pubg’. Dua has also filed a petition in the Lahore High Court (LHC) against her father, accusing him of harassing her.
