A 12-year-old Christian girl who was allegedly abducted, raped and forced to marry a man who kept her chained up in a cattle pen in Pakistan has been rescued. The underage girl spent five months bound in the 45-year-old Muslim man's yard where she would work all day clearing animal dung.
Police rescued the youngster in Faisalabad last month and found cuts from the shackles on her ankles.
