Switzerland: Afghan buys 14-year-old girl from her parents for sex and marriage

The criminal court of Lucerne sentences a man for sexual acts with a child. He handed over money to the parents of a 14-year-old girl in order to be able to marry the child. During the engagement, intimate contacts took place.

It was the young woman herself who reported the Afghan, who is now 30 years old. She had met him in December 2018 at the Coop City in Baden. The meeting had been arranged. The man had already given the parents money and asked for the daughter’s hand in marriage before she had ever seen him.

Right at the first meeting, the engagement was agreed upon. After that, further meetings took place. According to the Afghan, he assumed that the girl was already 18 years old. In fact, she was 14. After three months, the correct age was revealed.

According to the indictment, she then ended the relationship, “although there was love on the part of the private plaintiff at the beginning”. The engagement was finally broken off by both parties.

During the relationship, the two kissed several times. It has been proven on the basis of photographs that a French kiss took place on Valentine’s Day 2019. The man will now be sentenced to a conditional fine of 120 daily sentences of 100 francs each for sexual acts with a child. The 12,000 francs will be due within two years in the event of a repeat offence.
