Wisdom From the Desert

Muslim woman jailed for forcing daughters to marry

by Scott Gilbreath ~ May 21st, 2009

A British Muslim mother has been sentenced to three years for forcing her school-age daughters to marry cousins in Pakistan.

A Muslim mother who forced her two daughters to marry their cousins in Pakistan has been jailed for three years and ordered to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register.

She told her elder daughter that if she didn’t have sex with her new husband, she would tie her to the bed, blindfold and strip her, a court heard.

The woman, from south Manchester, also said she would be there to make sure the marriage was consummated. She cannot be named to protect the teenage victims.

She was convicted of inciting or causing a child to engage in sexual activity; two charges of arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence; and two of intending to pervert the course of justice. She had denied all charges.

The mother was convicted last month. Judge Clement Goldstone denounced the woman’s conduct when he handed down her sentence yesterday.
