Man, 28, Jailed for marrying half-sister (Sharing Same Father) in Pakistan

A 28 years old man sent to jail for marrying his half-sister by convincing her that it was okay to marry a sibling who shared the same father.

Man named Saqib escaped from Risalpur with his half-sister, and took her to Karachi where they got married in the court.

Hazrat Bibi, mother of the girl had registered a case in the Risalpur police station when her daughter went missing some days ago.
