ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP)—Police in Pakistan have prevented a wedding between a 7-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl.

They raided the wedding in Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city, and arrested the Muslim cleric who was officiating. According to a senior officer, they also arrested the children’s parents.

The cleric hadn’t yet begun the ceremony, which police say was attended by 100 guests. In Pakistan, marriage below the age of 18 is illegal—but some Muslim scholars say it’s allowed if the bride and groom have reached puberty.

According to a TV report, the parents said the wedding had been arranged to end an eight-year feud between the two families.

(bold by me) Be adults and end the feud yourselves, don’t put it on your innocent children’s heads.

Even if it’s allowed if they’ve reached puberty, I’m pretty sure a 5 year old and 7 year old wouldn’t have reached that point.

And yes, they should be adults and talk things over themselves.

I wonder if the kids thought they were getting a new brother or sister.

Generally, that is how they are brought up together when they’re married that young. Apparently the switch from “sibling” to “spouse” can be a bit weird.
