Murder,Afghan

A Victorian mother has been found guilty of forcing her daughter to marry a man, who later went on to murder the young bride.

Shepparton woman Sakina Muhammad Jan was found guilty of coercing her daughter Ruqia Haidari into marrying Perth man Mohammad Ali Halimi in November 2019.

A two-week trial held in Victoria's County Court heard Halimi flew from Perth to meet Ms Haidari's family in Shepparton in May 2019. Family members of Ms Haidari told the court Halimi appeared to be "respectful" and that he "loved" his bride-to-be. Ms Haidari is said to have told her mother: "I don't want to get married … I don't want this and I'm not going to accept this at all."

She also did not want to pull out of the arrangement due to fears the family's reputation would be damaged, Ms Muqudas claimed.Human trafficking specialists with the federal police charged Ms Muhammad Jan in October 2020 with forcing her daughter to enter the marriage.
