KARACHI
\nDua Zehra\u2019s father has challenged the Sindh High Court\u2019s verdict in the case in the Supreme Court.
\nThe high court on June 08 decision allowed the Karachi teenage girl to decide whether she wanted to live with her parents or go with husband, according to the petition.
\nThe SHC gave its verdict based on Dua Zehra\u2019s statement and the medical test, the petition read. \u201cDua Zehra\u2019s age has been described 17 years in the medical report, while according to the NADRA record and educational certificates her age is 14 years,\u201d father pleaded.
\nThe police has submitted its challan in \u2018C\u2019 Class in the trial court. The petitioner has sought immediate hearing of the case. The case is expected to be heard in the apex court next week.
\nA two-member bench, headed by Justice Muhammad Junaid Ghaffar, issued written order in Dua Zehra case, the Karachi teenager girl who had gone missing from her hometown and later surfaced in Punjab.
\nThe SHC, in its written verdict, observed that no evidence was found that the girl had been abducted and restrained authorities concerned from registering abduction cases.
\nThe SHC had also disposed off the petition filed by parents into the alleged abduction of the teenage girl.
\nDua Zehra\u2019s family had approached police, hours after she went missing from near her house in Alfalah Town Karachi on April 16, and had appealed through a number of channels for help in finding their daughter.
\nDays after disappearance, police found out that Dua Zehra had married a boy named Zaheer in Lahore.
\nA Lahore court allowed Dua to live with her husband. The Model Town court, while issuing verdict on police\u2019s plea to send the girl (14-year-old according to her father\u2019s claim and 18-year-old as per her own) to Dar-ul-Aman, rejected the police request and allowed Dua Zehra to live with her husband Zaheer Ahmed.
\nShe was then produced before SHC where the court ordered a medical examination of the girl. The medical examination stated that she is aged between 16 to 17-years-old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
