Family members of a minor on Friday demonstrated against the forceful marriage of the girl in Pakistan's Khuzdar area.

They demanded action against Younus Hassan.

Hassan, a former Education Officer and SST teacher in Gresha, is accused of forcibly marrying a minor, identified as Samreena, “without her consent", The Balochistan Post.

Family members alleged that the minor, who was identified as Samreena, was kidnapped by Hassan and forcibly married.

The family demanded the filing of a First Information Report (FIR) against him.

A source, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Balochistan Post that the accused has significant local influence, possibly backed by government-affiliated individuals, which may have led to the removal of the press conference coverage.

Bassaran, Samreena’s mother, told the newspaper: "My daughter, only fifteen, was promised education but was instead forcibly married."
