The Prosecutor’s office has charged 4 people with kidnapping for the purpose of marriage.

Police detained T.N. (born in 1981), Z.S. (1982), G.T. (1999) and Sh.Sh. (1998), on charges of unlawful deprivation of liberty. The investigation established that the defendants, on August 2, 2021, had illegally detained A.K. (1998), in order to marry.

“A.K., against her will, was forcibly put in a car and taken to the house of Z.S. in Kaspi, where the victim stayed for 7 hours before police arrived.

The crime envisages 7 to 10 years of imprisonment. The Prosecutor’s office has already applied to the court with a motion to use detention as a measure of restraint for all four defendants”,- reads the statement.
