77-year-old man petitions court over 13-year-old bride

Justice B.S. Roy is currently hearing a case of a 77-year-old man who has approached the court asking the Ministry of Human Services to show cause why it shouldn’t release his 13-year-old bride.

The two married close to a year ago but when the Ministry learned of it they took the girl into protective custody. The case came up yesterday but was referred for hearing later this month.
