A review of a controversial ruling has been ordered by the Federal Constitutional Court of Pakistan. The court's previous decision had upheld the marriage of a 13-year-old girl to her abductor. The girl's family had filed a petition, which was heard on July 24, and the court accepted their plea for a review.

The original ruling was based on forged documents that falsely stated the girl's age as 18. The family maintains that she was only 13 when she was abducted. A two-judge bench issued formal notices to parties involved, including the Attorney General of Pakistan.

Further details on this case are available from the International Christian Concern. The court's decision to review the ruling is a development in a case that has drawn attention due to its controversial nature.
