Faryal Shah, Dr Hafsa to stay in shelter home for 3 weeks: SC

Suprem­e Court gives both of them 3 weeks to decide if they want to go with their husban­ds or famili­es.

KARACHI: Dr Hafsa (Lata) and Faryal Shah (Rinkle) were summoned by the Supreme Court on Monday, where the Chief Justice ordered that the two girls be placed in a shelter home in Karachi for 3 weeks, Express News reported.

The Supreme Court decided that they were to be placed in a shelter home for three weeks so they could decide whether they wanted to go with their husbands or families without any external pressure.

Faryal, however, upon seeing her mother said that she wanted to go with her instead. She also said that she did not sign the previously recorded statement, whereas Dr Hafsa has already given her statement.

The relatives of the two girls who were present in the court raised a hue and cry, saying that their daughter wanted to go with them and that they were not getting justice, upon which the chief justice said that the girls are our own children, not outsiders.

The CJ further ordered that the two girls are to be brought before the court on April 18.
