PESHAWAR: A court on Wednesday accepted an Afghan girl's appeal for protection in Pakistan, and sent her to Darul Aman. Sajeena (17), a resident of Khost, told the court that she left Afghanistan when her father sold her to a 70-year-old man. "I ran away from Khost when my father Ibrahim sold me to Agha Jan for Rs 250,000," Sajeena told Judicial Magistrate Ahmad Iftikhar. "I was left with no option but to come to Pakistan. My mother was also against my father's decision to sell me to Jan, who has five children," she added. |
