NT Attorney-General Selena Uibo has written to her federal counterpart calling for a review of controversial Commonwealth laws. (ABC News: Laetitia Lemke)
When a 55-year-old man was found guilty of having sex with and assaulting his 14-year-old "promised bride" in the mid-2000s, the Northern Territory Supreme Court handed him a two-year sentence, suspended after just one month.
The short jail term — which was based on the court's finding that the man believed his actions were permitted under traditional law — was later increased to a minimum of 18 months after the original sentence was deemed "manifestly inadequate" on appeal.
