Hyderabad: The Falaknuma police detained three brokers, who had allegedly facilitated the marriage of a 16-year-old girl with a 65-year-old Omani national three months ago, for questioning.
Two of those who brokered the marriage deal are relatives of the teenager and had conned the mother of the teenager into believing that her daughter would be happy and secure in the marriage. The marriage between the two was performed at a local lodge in the Chandrayangutta area. The girl was later sent to Oman in July to join her husband on a visit visa.
The brokers had also arranged an Aadhaar card and other documents required by the girl for obtaining a passport. The teenager after reaching Muscat phoned her mother in a few days and complained that she was being ill treated and abused by the Omani national.
The woman, Ms Sayeeda, then approached the Falaknuma police and narrated the incident following which the police registered a case. When the woman called up the Omani, he told her that he had paid Rs 5 lakh to the brokers for arranging the marriage.
Falaknuma detective inspector Murali Krishna said that they are investigating the case and questioning a few suspects.
Who are suspected to be involved in the case. "So far no one has been arrested. Investigation in the case is going on", the inspector said.
