Controversial Case in Faryab: Imam Accused of Killing Wife After Marrying 18-Year-Old Girl.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Local sources in Faryab say Mawlavi Jilan Haqqani, a mosque imam in Khwaja Namusa District, has been accused of killing his wife after divorcing his four wives on the same day and marrying an 18-year-old girl.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sources claim the body of his 30-year-old wife was found inside his house two days ago, with signs of violence reported on her body.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to local sources, the elderly imam had also been seeking to marry another 16-year-old girl, although another source said the marriage had not been finalized.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sources claim Taliban authorities arrested Haqqani following a complaint from the victim\u2019s family. He reportedly denied the accusation, claiming he was at the mosque when his wife died and that she had taken her own life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Residents have rejected this explanation and claimed she died as a result of violence. The Taliban has not released an official statement regarding the investigation or the suspect\u2019s status.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
