SHAKARGARH: In a bizarre incident, a 22-year-old girl allegedly eloped with her sister’s son (nephew) and married him in Kot Nainan, a town of Shakargarh. The incident came to the light after a man named Muhammad Akram lodged a complaint against his real grandson, Ghulam Ahmad, accusing him of abducting his daughter after coaxing her. According to the complaint, Akram said that Ahmad is the son of another one of his daughters, who lives in Faisalabad after marriage. Kot Nainan police station registered a case following the complaint and later arrested the accused couple. Station House Officer (SHO) Tariq Mehmood said that the religion and law prohibited a nephew from marrying his maternal aunt.
