Father Sells Himself into Slavery to Save Daughter

In the Summer of 2018, Elisha,  a 12-year old Pakistani Christian girl, was abducted by a 25-year-old Muslim man, raped, and forced to marry him against her will.  Her father, Iqbal Masih, had no money to hire a lawyer in order to get her back, so he sold himself into servitude at a brick kiln so he could obtain the funds he needed to hire a lawyer.  Fortunately, human rights organizations found out about his plight and came to his aid.  

After hiring a lawyer, Elisha's family managed to get her back, but her abductor insists that she is an adult capable of making her own choices and that she accepted the marriage.  However, in the courtroom, Elisha tearfully broke down and stated that she never agreed to marriage and the her fingerprints on the marriage certificate are false.  So far, the courts are standing with Elisha's family.  The most likely reason is that no right minded person would ever believe that a 12-year-old child would ever consent to a marriage.
