Hyderabad: The city police is sending a team to Mumbai to seek the help of the Oman consulate in bringing back a teenager from the Old City who was married to an elderly Omani.
The marriage was performed about four months ago and the teenager who is reportedly 17-year-old called up her parents and said that she was being “tortured” by her husband who is about 65 years old.
“A team headed by an ACP rank official will leave for Mumbai and meet Oman consulate officials. Efforts of the Embassy of India in Oman are also on to get the teenager back to India,” said DCP (south) V. Satyanarayana.
The police, according to sources, is trying to contact some relatives of, Ghousia — the aunt of the teenager who facilitated her marriage without the knowledge of her parents — to approach the Oman national. The relatives who stay in Oman could at least help in convincing the man to send the teenager back to India.
“The teenager is also reluctant to come back for fear of being arrested. Maybe her relatives here or the Oman national might have scared her,” the police said.
