Police in Pakistan's Charsadda town have rescued a 12-year-old girl from being forced to marry a 72-year-old man. The girl's father had agreed to sell her to the elderly man for PKR 500,000, but the police intervened before the 'Nikkah' ceremony and arrested the groom and the 'Nikah Khwan'. Despite laws against child marriage, similar incidents continue to occur in Pakistan.
