According to the report, a Victorian mother has cried and protested her innocence as she became the first person in Australia to be jailed for breaking forced marriage laws.
Sakina Muhammad Jan will have to serve a minimum of 12 months in jail after being found guilty of pressuring her daughter to marry a man who went on to murder her in 2020.
The report said that After the wedding, Ruqia Haidari, 21, moved across the country to live with her new husband in Perth. Six weeks later, he'd slashed her throat with a kitchen knife.
The report added that Jan was supported by about 15 family and Hazara community members in Melbourne's County Court on Monday, some of whom wept as Judge Fran Dalziel sentenced her to three years in jail.
The judge agreed to a recognizance order, allowing Jan to walk free after 12 months if she agreed not to commit further offenses. After the sentence was imposed, Jan sat in the court dock and told her lawyer she refused to accept the judge's decision before eventually being led away.
The mother of the deceased was lured with a huge dowry from the killer. The husband, the killer was charged for a life sentence by the court.
