Seyed Abdolkarim was taken in
by officers after police were told
he had married the child, named
only as Gharibgol, in a religious
ceremony. The child was reportedly sold by
her father who was also arrested
by police after they claimed he
exchanged her for the goat, along
with rice, tea, sugar, and cooking
oil. He said he had been struggling to
look after the family, and that
exchanging his daughter meant
he gained food and lost a mouth
to feed.
