After a trip to Pakistan last summer, the girl told social services that she had been married off to a 22-year-old man. This led to the girl being taken into care by social services and a police investigation being launched.

The man is the brother of the mother's boyfriend. The court points in particular to the girl's young age and the fact that the mother was aware of an expectation that the relationship would involve sex.

The mother is also sentenced to pay damages to her daughter.
