Azhar Ali, the man who has been accused of marrying 13-year-old Arzoo Fatima in Karachi, has challenged Sindh’s child marriage law. He claimed that the minimum age of marriage in the province–18 years is not Shariah compliant.
A Sindh High Court bench, headed by Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, remarked that the petitioner should take the case to the Shariat court. “What does 18th Amendment have to do with child marriages? How is the child marriage law against Islam?”
