Aap Ki Adalat: Bharatiya Janata Party’s candidate for Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat Madhavi Latha has narrated a ‘sale of a bride’ case she confronted in the constituency and mentioned that ladies are being offered in order to get meals for the household. She mentioned that some households get the daughters married a number of instances because of the cash they get which is then used for the citing of different offspring in the household.
Latha is pitted towards AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi from the seat in the Lok Sabha elections 2024.
She was replying to questions from Rajat Sharma in his iconic TV present ‘Aap Ki Adalat’.
Narrating the story, Latha mentioned {that a} 16-year-old Muslim lady was married to a 70-year-old Arab man and 18 instances thereafter.
“I have been working hard among poor Muslim families of Old Hyderabad to provide them education and assistance. Fifteen days ago, a 16-year-old Muslim girl spoke from a Middle East country to her family in Hyderabad saying, “arrange a big feast because I have been married off 18 times. She was married to a 70-year-old Arab man. This is the bitter truth. Can anybody do this for his own daughter? Where does religion come into this?” she requested.
“To come out from poverty, daughters are married twice or thrice, because the money that she gets is used to nurture seven or eight other offspring in the family. Girls are being sold in order to get food for the family,” the BJP candidate mentioned.
