So it's doubtful that CNN or MSNBC will pick up this story but here it goes.... A Muslim man has an affair with another Muslim man's wife and to settle dispute over the affair the Muslim man marries off his 3 year old daughter to the man's 9 year old son. Some would call this a cultural thing. I call it a crime that boggles the imagination. What was this father thinking to marry off his own 3 year old daughter in order to appease the wrath of a jealous husband? The update is the adults involved have been arrested.
Father marries off three-year-old daughter to 'settle dispute over affair'
“Father marries off three-year-old daughter to ‘settle dispute over alleged affair,'” by Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, Independent, March 16, 2017:
A three-year-old girl has been forced into marriage in order to settle a dispute between her father and another man, it has been reported.

Pakistani police have called the incident a case of Vani, a custom in which young girls are forced to be married by way of punishment for a crime committed by a male relative.
The girl’s father, named only as Mr Aurangzeb, was accused of having an affair with the mother of the boy by her husband, Mohammad Younis.
