Afghanistan: Religious scholar, who is believed to be Taliban member, abducts minor girl with intention of marrying her
Kabul: A 40-year-old religious scholar, who is suspected to be a Taliban member, has abducted a minor girl with the intention of marrying her in Bamyan province in central Afghanistan.
Sources told Khaama Press that a 17-year-old girl was abducted from the village of Solij in the Yakiawlang No. 2 district of Bamyan by a 40-year-old religious scholar by the name of Sayed Taqi Alawi.
Sayed Taqi Alawi, a resident of the Sang Takht and Bandar districts of Daikundi province, in central Afghanistan, is a Taliban member, the news agency reported.
For a while, Sayed Taqi Alawi has been in charge of the Afghan National SolidarityParty in the Bandar district of Daikundi province.
The Taliban governor spokesperson for the province, Abdul Saboor Saighani, told the news agency that rumors of Alawi eloping are false and inaccurate, despite local media claims claiming he has been arrested in the province’s center.
