A 14-year-old teenager from Karachi, Dua Zehra, was in Lahore after missing for a week.
Geo News reported that after being recovered from Lahore, Dua gave a statement in which she revealed that she left Karachi willingly and went to Lahore. The source further reported that the Lahore police had taken her into custody.
Police have said that Dua has tied the knot with a boy based in Lahore. They have successfully obtained the marriage certificate, which respective authorities have verified.
Ten days ago, the 14-year-old stepped out of her home to dispose of garbage from the first floor to the ground floor in Karachi’s Alfalah area. Since then, no one had any clue about her whereabouts. When Dua didn’t turn up, a kidnapping case was registered on Zainab alert, and Dua’s father had also filed a police complaint against unidentified suspects.
Dua’s parents appeared on Wasim Badami’s Ramadan transmission show, Shan e Ramzan where they demanded the government finds their daughter as soon as possible. Dua’s mother said, “I want my daughter alive. I am a mother. I will not accept her body like Zainab. I will keep the body outside Governor House if she is found dead.”
Twitter has mixed reaction’s to news of Dua being recovered in Lahore, who left willingly and now is married.
A Twitter user wrote in a tweet, “Dozens of teens across the country go down this road… there’s a severe lack of communication and mistrust between parents and children when it comes to sharing emotions and feelings for who they like and what kind of person they want to be with and more importantly who they don’t want to be with”.
