Three-year-old child bride is sold to 60-year-old man in case that has sparked outrage in Pakistan as father is arrested

A man has been arrested in Pakistan for allegedly marrying off his three-year-old daughter to a 60-year-old man for less than £7,000.

Police said that Abdul Baqi, from the border city of Chaman in Balochistan, sold his young daughter to the man, named locally as Salah Uddin, in exchange for 2.5million Pakistani rupees (£6,802), according to the BBC.

The exchange was carried out as part of ‘walwar’, an outdated tradition that sees a male partner’s family give the family of a woman money in exchange for her hand in marriage.
