Sakina Muhammad Jan is on trial for allegedly forcing her daughter into marriage.
In Melbourne's County Court, Sakina Muhammad Jan is on trial for allegedly forcing her 20-year-old daughter Ruqia Haidari into marrying a man from another state in 2019. Jan denies all allegations of coercion, maintaining that her daughter consented to the marriage. Haidari, a divorced refugee from Afghanistan, had been told she had "lost value" and faced poor remarriage prospects, according to the prosecution. The trial continues.
