Medical board report declares Dua Zahra's age 'nearest to 15 years': father's lawyer

The medical board's report of ossification and dentition tests performed on Dua Zahra has stated her age as "nearest to 15-years", said the lawyer representing the father of the teenager — who had gone missing from her Karachi residence in April but was later found to have married Zaheer Ahmed in Lahore.

A 10-member medical board — formed by Sindh Health Department — on Monday submitted the report in the court of judicial magistrate (East) ahead of the hearing of a case filed by Zahra's father Mehdi Ali Kazmi for the determination of her age.

The test to determine her age was conducted a second time over Kazmi's petition challenging an earlier test that suggested that the girl’s age was between 16 and 17.Taking to Twitter, Kazmi's lawyer and social rights activist Jibran Nasir said that the report has negated the results of the previous medical report that declared the girl to be 16-17 years of age.
