The five suspects who were arrested by officials of the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) in the Ablekuma forced marriage scandal have been granted bail.
The five, including a 25 year old husband who married a 13 year old girl were granted bail, Friday, Joy News’ Fred Smith, who also doubles as the complainant in the case has confirmed.
The 13 year old girl was used as a ‘sacrificial lamb’ when her 18 year old sister escaped from the bondage of forced marriage.
The police early this week arrested the new couple, the mother and father of the girl as well as the sister who had early on escaped.
The police have had to grant bail to the suspects pending further investigations.
According to Fred Smith the police are still investigating a possible case of defilement against the ‘husband.’
He had spent at least two nights with the 13 year old shortly after their marriage.
