Not everything circulating on social media can be credible. A case in point is the hoopla about marriage of an ageing cleric with a purported underage girl in Qila Saifullah district of Balochistan.
But when the police on Sunday raided the house of the local cleric accused of solemnizing an underage marriage, the bride turned out to be 25 years old.
The raid was made by Assistant Commissioner Qilla Saifullah Jehanzaib Baloch after the issue was highlighted on social media.
