Police in Larkana stop forced child marriage of two teenagers

Larkana police stopped a forced child marriage between a 13-year-old girl and her 16-year-old cousin in Khero Dero village. The Women and Child Protection Cell (WCPC) intervened, counselled the parents, and secured a written agreement to delay the marriage until the girl turns 18. The groom's family claims the marriage occurred, but the girl's parents confirmed she is at home.
