A medical board appointed by a civil court in Karachi has revealed The Minor’s age to be 15 years. Previously, her age had been established by a medical board to be between 16 and 17, but the findings of the board had been challenged on a technicality. A six-member medical board conducted an age-determination test of The Minor over the weekend.
“The Medical Board has verified the truth which the Parents have been telling for 2.5 months. As per Board The Minor is nearest to 15 yrs of age negating the previous medical report which placed The Minor at 17. This proves that NADRA documents are accurate & The Minor, in reality, is a 14yr child,” lawyer Jibran Nasir tweeted. He is representing The Minor’s parents in court.

“Offences of Kidnapping, Child Marriages & Rape/Sexual Offences all are attracted to a case where girl child is under 16. IGP Sindh should take immediate action to remove current I.O. of the case who has been telling media no case of Kidnapping is made & must immediately recover The Minor,” Jibran added.
The Minor went missing on April 16 from Karachi. Three videos of The Minor also surfaced in which she can be heard saying that she married out of her own free will, and claimed that she is 18 years of age.
