A groom has been arrested and his accomplice hunted by Police in connection with arranging child marriage between a 35-year-old man to a six-year-old.
Marriage broker Jamuni Bai, 51, is known for arranging marriages with child brides for a fee of around £350, say police in Rajasthan, India.
And now images have surfaced showing the shocking marriage of a 35-year-old man to a six-year-old girl at which he's thought to have been one of five witnesses.
It's thought the wedding took place on June 23 in a secret village temple ceremony.
Groom Ratan Lal Jat is an elected member of the village council of Gangrar, and one of the witnesses he had as a guest was said to be marriage broker Bai.
Lal Jat was already in a relationship with a married woman, so the wedding is to fulfill Nata Pratha, an ancient local custom which dictates that a man can have a live-in relationship with a married woman as long as he pays money to her so he can move in with her.
