MAIL Online: A devout Muslim mother of five has become one of the first mums in Britain to be jailed after forcing her two teenage daughters to marry their cousins.
The woman, 39, flew her two girls aged 14 and 15 to Pakistan on the pretext of a family holiday only for them to discover a joint wedding had secretly been arranged for them with two suitors.
The grooms-to-be then tied the knot with the two terrified sisters in a joint ceremony as their mother looked on before the girls were forced to become their new husbands' sex slaves.
During the girls' ordeal their mother from Manchester told her eldest daughter that unless she consumated the marriage, she would 'tie her to the bed, blindfold her and strip her' and watch to make sure she had sex with her new husband.
Two weeks after arriving in Pakistan in June 2007, the mother finalised arrangements for a wedding for the younger of the two daughters to a first cousin.
Two weeks after, both daughters were married in a joint ceremony.
Manchester Crown Court heard the mother was arrested after their daughters told their teachers what happened in February 2008 following their return to the UK.
They were immediately taken into care. >>> By Daily Mail Reporter | Thursday, May 21, 2009
