The court also ordered for recovering the two girls within 10 days and producing them before the court. Zainab and Faiza were allegedly kidnapped by their uncle Shah Tareen who took them to Kaladhaka.Shah Tareen had earlier married Jannat against the will of her parents, which created a dispute among the two tribes. A Jirga was set up which gave a “reconciliatory” decision, asking him to hand over two girls to the aggrieved party as compensation. The mother of the girls Yasmeen filed an application in the court for the recovery of her daughters.
